Elsewhere, we’re happy to have received the news that Steve Ogrizovic is not locked up in a Kazakhstani prison. Plus we find out which noughties Paul Robinson is which. If you’d like to send us an email, you can do so at: [email protected]

The first series of Let’s Be Having You kicks off with a bang as we’re joined by the first 00s winner of the European Golden Shoe (…is it a slip on?) former Sunderland and England striker Kevin Phillips!

He explains why his strike partnership with Niall Quinn was so good on and off the pitch - trips to O’Neill’s in Durham do play their part.

But more importantly than that, we find out Howard Wilkinson’s motivational methods - forget imaginary golf, here comes Howard with a bag of stinging nettles! Move over Pep and Mikel…

And how did Europe’s most lethal striker not get a minute for England at Euro2000? We were always doomed to fail!

We also dive into your correspondence, which provides updates on Dream Team’s Des Baker and former Aston Villa defender Alpay Özalan.

And HUGE NEWS come experience the thrill of Let’s Be Having You LIVE at the Clapham Grand on Saturday 12th October 2024 at 6.15pm as we headline the Cheerful Earful podcast festival! We’ve got a DREAMY guest or two lined up so get your tickets before they go!

England are two games away from glory… are we about to replicate Greece’s antics at Euro 2004?!

To help us dissect it all and share some glorious England stories is: Nigel Martyn!

There are more revelations from England’s pre 2002 World Cup party at Beckingham Palace… I mean what would you expect with Mick Hucknall, Dwight Yorke and Natalie Imbruglia in the house.

Did Bubble from series two of Big Brother produce an England song for the 2002 World Cup? And what links The Killers to Norwich City and Delia Smith?

England are through to the quarter-finals after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia – so the question on everyone’s lips is…are we about to s***house our way to glory???

To help us dissect it all and share some glorious England stories is 00s royalty: Danny Mills!

We find out what went on at England’s pre 2002 World Cup party at Beckingham Palace… and was H from Steps really on a better table than the first-team squad?

Don’t worry about England getting back to their best… because Ross Kemp has returned to form on his socials… but is his dog okay?

It’s the morning after the night before and we’re all still digesting that incredibly turgid England performance. And here to help us relive the drama from his Italian vacation is Michael Marden.

Plus: has there ever been a better lookalike than Xherdan Shaqiri and the thumb people from ‘Spy Kids’? How gutted are we not to have seen Alex dribble a football around the offices of GMB like David Brent? And we’re here to defend our beautiful boy Frank Lampard from the attacks of Gary Lineker.

And if you’ve enjoyed this episode, please feel free to leave a review (let’s be honest, a 5 star would be ideal) on your podcast app of choice. And if you manage to get a pun in there featuring a 00s footballer, we’ll be almost certain to give it a mention. 

Thank you for listening and if you’re a subscriber, we’ll see you very shortly for more Euros coverage.

So good night, Richard Wright,

The tournament has begun and as per historical precedent, England kick off with a somewhat stale performance that nonetheless sees them clock up their first win of the tournament.

And joining us to dissect it all is the man who featured in more than a few England squads throughout the 00s, it’s our cover star himself: Emile Heskey!

Huge shout out to Daniel Jolly for sending us a Harchester United shirt. And huge shout out to Danny Dyer for drinking out of Alex’s prosthetic leg at SoccerAid. If you’ve got anything at all to contribute, you can email us at: [email protected]

It’s time for our second AND FINAL Euros preview before the tournament kicks off and before Alex goes off to SoccerAid to become best friends with Alessandro Del Piero. 

We’ve got another 00s pundit for you this week and it is STATISTICALLY Scotland’s greatest ever permanent manager: Alex McLeish.. Who is here to finally shed some light on why Scotland took on Gibraltar to warm up for the tournament.

And we’ve got some correspondence for you too; YES we’re going to cover Reading on the pod. YES we’re going to take a look at Cash FC. And YES don’t ever try to joke with Martin Keown, especially if you’re Jake Humphrey. If you want to get in touch about that or anything else, you can email us at: [email protected]

And we’ve got some correspondence for you too; Cardiff fans loved Sam Hamman on the pitch, surely that’s a rare thing?! And also, does Martin Job have a picture of Arsene Wenger in his downstairs loo?! If you want to get in touch about that or anything else, you can email us at: [email protected]
