- The Kick-Off (Trailer) - Before The Sky Money
Do you remember where you were for Mexico ‘86? For host Greg, it was sat on the sofa next to his hero, watching Ray ‘Butch’ Wilkins turn the air blue while the smell of roasted peanuts and bitter filled the room.
Before The Sky Money is a podcast for the fans who remember when the FA Cup Final was the biggest day of the year, when "Got-Got-Need" was the only currency that mattered, and when a back-pass was something a keeper could actually pick up.
In this trailer, we set the scene for a journey back to the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. We’re ditching the billionaire owners and the VAR replays to celebrate the grit, the glory, and the glorious kits of a bygone era.
What to expect every week:
- The Stories: Real memories from the terraces of Ewood Park and beyond.
- The Guests: "Normal blokes" and cult heroes sharing the tales that don't make the history books.
- The Panini 10: The ultimate nostalgia quiz that will test even the most seasoned veteran.
Whether you’re a life-long rover or just miss the days of black boots and one sub on the bench, pull up a seat. The first whistle is about to blow.

About Before The Sky Money

Before The Sky Money
"Football didn't start in 1992. It started on the concrete terraces, in the mud of a Saturday afternoon, and in the pages of a Panini sticker…
album."
Welcome to Before The Sky Money, the podcast that takes a long, nostalgic look back at the beautiful game before the billions changed it forever. Hosted by Greg—a lad who grew up on the Ewood Park terraces—this show is a tribute to the era of the maverick, the hardman, and the cult hero who’d stop for a pint with the fans after the match.
Whether you were there for the magic of Mexico '86, the heartbreak of Italia '90, or the ritual of waiting for Teletext page 302 to update, this is your new home for football nostalgia.
Every week, we dive into:
- The Stories: Real, raw memories from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s—the ones that don't make the official history books.
- The Rituals: From the thrill of finding that last "shiny" in a Panini pack to the smell of Bovril and damp wool on a freezing Saturday at 3:00 PM.
- The Kits: Celebrating (and debating) the glorious, the gritty, and the downright ugliest away strips of the era.
- The Panini 10: Our signature nostalgia quiz where guests and listeners prove their "old school" credentials.
We’re joined by genuine fans—the "normal blokes" who lived it—and a few legendary faces to answer the age-old question: Was football actually better when we were kids?
No VAR. No billionaire owners. No half-and-half scarves. Just pure, unadulterated football history.
Pull up a seat, the first whistle is about to blow.
