Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

As the 2024/2025 season reaches it end (sort of - does football ever stop?) we took the opportunity to reflect on our football travels over the past 12 months with our Lost Boyos End of Season Awards. What was the best food we ate? Best prematch or postmatch bar? As well as reflecting on the football itself and discussing the best goal, game, player etc. we saw in the past 12 months, plus much more.

This is Part 2 of 2.

From the famed academies of Arsenal and Ajax to some of the most unexpected corners of European football, this week’s guest has taken a career path like few other British footballers in recent years. James Lawrence joined us to chat about his journey from Trenčín in Slovakia, to Anderlecht in Belgium, then to St. Pauli and Nürnberg in Germany, and now Almere City in the Netherlands. Safe to say, he’s had one hell of a fun footballing adventure. Plus, along the way, he even made time to become a Welsh football international. We chatted about meeting Dutch legends, floodlights in Slovakia, and captaining European football’s most hipster club, plus much more,

Not many (any?) English footballers can boast about having played in Brazil and Sri Lanka on their footballing CV, but our guest for this episode definitely can.
