Katy Mousinho joins BBB to explain some of the weird and wonderful monikers clubs have had since their formation
Boots Bovril and Bovver's superfan Gordon tells us why he's on his tenth World Cup in a row, and thirteenth in all
Never mind Wonderwall, Hey Jude and Don't Look Back In Anger. What about singles (remember them?) written specifically for the Home Nations' World Cup campaigns? Admittedly, not all were classics...in fact, some were downright awful. But others have survived the test of time. Gordon and Tommy run down their top 10 World Cup songs.
Do you agree with them?
In the era of boots, Bovril, and bovver, players had magnificent nicknames. We all know "Chopper" Harris and Norman "Bites Yer Legs" Hunter. But who was "Captain Blood" and "The Flying Pig"?
Gordon and Tommy reveal their love for both the revered and the reviled.
His name isn't up there with Pele, Maradonna and Messi, but some think it should be. A peerless goal machine, James Peter Greaves went on to invent the role of comedy TV football pundit. Plus, he was always a decent, modest geezer
Tom and Gordon discuss the voices of football - commentators, presenters, anchor men - from days gone by

Tommy and Gordon relive the matchday pilgrimages of their youth. Train travel, long walks, programme sellers, the roar of the crowd, half-time scores, bobble hats and rattles, and much more.
Tom and Gordon reminisce about those Saturdays when they couldn't get to a match. Reading the papers, waiting for Grandstand and World of Sport, half-time scores, the teleprinter, football results, the evening papers, fish and chips, Saturday night television and Match of the Day
BACK IN THE DAY, EVERY TEAM HAD AT LEAST ONE ENFORCER. OFTEN MORE. SOMETIMES THE ENTIRE DEFENCE FORWARDS HAD TO BE TOUGH TO SURVIVE, AND MANY GAVE AS GOOD AS THEY GOT TOM AND GORDON REMINISCE ABOUT PLAYERS AND TEAMS THE LIKES OF WHICH WE WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN
