Let's Be Having You! The 00s Football Podcast episodes

December 08, 2025 Gabriel Clarke - Part 1
In this episode, we are joined by quite simply a legend of British sports broadcasting, multi-award winning journalist and documentary maker Gabriel Clarke.
Gabriel looks back at the start of his career, in particular his role as a reporter on Saint and Greavsie, and host of Football League Extra.
He also lifts the lid on what really happens when ITV and the BBC go head-to-head at World Cups and European Championships - especially when both channels end up in the same hotel.
Plus, we dig into your correspondence, exploring everything from a world populated by clones of Pierluigi Collina to the chaos of Thomas Gravesen acting as Wayne Rooney’s driving instructor.

December 01, 2025 Spanish football in the 00’s with Guillem Balague - Part 2
In this episode, we are joined by writer Guillem Balague to discuss Spanish football in the 00’s.
Part 1 of the podcast came out last Monday, so if you missed it... make sure to go back and listen!
Guillem looks back on his big break with Sky Sports in 1997 and tells us what it was like covering some massive stories - like Luís Figo’s move from Barcelona to Real Madrid, the whole Galácticos era, and David Beckham rocking up in Madrid in 2003.
We also find out why Spanish fans whip out those famous white handkerchiefs when they want a manager gone.
Of course, we get into Barcelona, how Pep Guardiola totally changed the game, and the Spain national team’s ridiculous spell of dominance.
And yes, we dive into your messages too - more 00s VAR madness, and the all-important question: did James Beattie really sample an Eminem track before Southampton’s FA Cup final against Arsenal in 2003?

November 12, 2025 Kevin Davies - Part 2
In this episode, we’re joined by former Southampton, Blackburn, and Bolton striker Kevin Davies.

Part 1 of the podcast came out on Monday, so if you missed it... make sure to go back and listen!

He opens up about his breakthrough season in the Premier League with Southampton, and how his big-money move to Blackburn Rovers didn’t quite go to plan.
Of course, we also dive into his time under Big Sam Allardyce at Bolton Wanderers in the 00's - it’s every bit as entertaining as you’d hope! But did Big Sam really make the players take breathalyser tests?
Plus, we get stuck into your correspondence - including some top-tier insider info on the burgers at Millwall.
