Jim Daly is the third comedian in a row on this podcast. Jim is currently on tour and is appearing on home turf this coming Saturday at Chesham cricket club and I have been reliably informed there are a few tickets left. Jim has also been one of the mainstays of the Five Year Plan podcast, which shines a light on by far the greatest team this world has ever seen - Crystal Palace FC. So appropriately enough Jim’s first entry into a football stadium was Selhurst Park on New Years Day 1992 for a clash with Notts County, whose manager is a man who Jim knows very well.

This week's guest is Anthony Richardson, who joins a growing list of comedians to be guests on this podcast. Indeed he follows in the footsteps of his fellow Exploding Head Mark Davison who featured last week. As well as being at the end of the line for ‘Colin from Portsmouth’ Anthony is also the face of Paddy Power ads including being the barber who is still patiently waiting for the Man United fan to have his hair cut…Anthony’s first memories of a match was at a ground that no longer exists, it’s Elm Park back in September 1995, in front of nearly 8,000 hardy souls…

Mark Davison is one of the first comedians we have had on this pod, Kevin Day being the very first. Mark’s alter ego is Ian Fiveankles, a hoary ex-footballer who has little truck with the modern game. He is also one of the Exploding Heads duo and finally many of you will know him as the ranting, raging Colin from Portsmouth.
