    Keys and Gray: it was just banter | Part two (with George Wilde)

    24/03/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    The pair are destroyed by a series of videos showing them at their absolute worst.  

    We revel in the fall out and the recovery, as Keys and Gray decamp to Qatar, settle old scores with their enemies, and both are rocked by more sex scandals.

    And of course, we answer the big question: Smash It?

    Keys and Gray: smash it? | Part one (with George Wilde)

    17/03/2026 | 59 mins.
    When Richard Keys and Andy Gray burst onto our screens in the early 90s, they were a breath of fresh air.

    But behind the scenes, the pair turned the Sky Sports studio into a seedy boys club.

    They were forced out in disgrace, and that was just the start…

    From parties with pornstars to banging their best friend’s wives, this is the scandalous saga of Keys and Gray… smash it?

    OLD GOLD | Neil Warnock: he'd fookin' die for you lot

    11/03/2026 | 53 mins.
    They don't make managers like Neil Warnock anymore. 

    He gave team talks naked, cut his players' toe nails and picked the team based on his wife's dreams. 

    So by all means enjoy this podcast, but "enjoy it by being fucking disciplined"...

    The footballer who took LSD before matches (with Charlie Milner)

    10/03/2026 | 1h 17 mins.
    Drink. Drugs. Explosive benders. And the inspiration for a rock band’s hit single.

    Nope, it’s not an iconic supermodel, it’s a hellraising winger from west London.

    From robbing graves to LSD before kick off, meet Robin Friday, the original rock 'n' roll footballer…
