In this episode of 'The Big Man Up Top' podcast, hosts Joe and Ed revel in the return of football, particularly the Premier League. They discuss the season's uninspired start, comedy defense moments, whether the league's new managers actually look like managers, and predictions for an upcoming game.

The highlight is a profound two-part interview with footballer John Bostock, previously of Crystal Palace, Spurs and Notts County, covering his recent move to Solihull Moors, balancing career and faith, and the human side of player transfers. John shares his thoughts on hope, faith in Jesus, and how it shapes his identity and performance on the pitch.
