Our guest this week is man who has been nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award a record breaking five times - star of Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You and, more importantly, a former Manchester United fan, James Acaster. The subject of discussion for this episode is the documentary which made infamous its protagonist; angry Orient manager John Sitton. 22 years after Channel 4’s ’Club for a fiver’ was first aired, this week we give it a rewatch and try to figure out exactly what prompted John Sitton to utter the immortal words: “‘So you, you little c*** when I tell you to do something and you, you f****** big c*** - when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you f****** come back at me, we’ll have a f****** right sort out in here.”
Meanwhile, there’s an update on Vegard Heggem’s salmon lodge and an interesting report from the 90s Aston Villa version of Stella Street.

Chapter 1: Sweeper! By Steve Bruce

Chapter 3 of the 3rd Bruce book (possibly our favourite) on the QK Fan Club - making sure we complete the trilogy, so to celebrate that.. we're dropping the first few chapters from the first book onto the main feed for the first time ever.
And of course, we'll be back in a few weeks for our final series (crying emoji).
And surprise! It's our second Chapter in a week: Chapter 4.
Things heat up over at Leddersford Town as Steve's agent rolls into town and a press conference about Duffy's killing leads to a revelation and yet another classic Brucian cliff-hanger... 
Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Striker! By Steve Bruce

With the end of Quickly Kevin in May, we thought we might see if you might enjoy this 'best of' selection from Chris' other podcast with QK alumni Elis James and Tom Craine called 'Oh What A Time..'
Each week the trio delve into the rich tapestry of history to discuss things like "which famous historical character would you like to snog?", "would it be fun to observe the Beatles if you were stuck as a coffee table?" as well as attempting to dissect why custard simply isn't bigger than it is?
A different subject is tackled every Monday and Tuesday (last week was Love, this week Discoveries) assisted by an ACTUAL HISTORIAN and essentially we try to figure out if the past was awful (turns out that yes, it was).

The best of: Oh What A Time!

We're about to tackle and complete the 3rd Bruce book (possibly our favourite) on the QK Fan Club - making sure we complete the trilogy, so to celebrate that.. we're dropping the first few chapters from the first book onto the main feed for the first time ever.
And of course, we'll be back in a few weeks for our final series (crying emoji).
This week - Chapter 3.
This chapter is what you might call in the industry 'a little stagey' as the worlds longest interrogation takes place in Steve's much bigger than Eddie Carbury's office. And of course, Sir Lawrence storms in once again. 
We also discuss some fantasy casting for the 'Striker' film adaptation. 
This episode was originally recorded in December 2020.
Don't forget if you want to binge the first two Bruce books now, you can join the QK Fan Club at AnotherSlice.com/quicklykevin or via your Apple podcast app.
We'll see you very soon for Chapter 4.
