Former Motherwell defender Simon “Rammers” Ramsden joins Crofty and Peter for a lively, honest, and often hilarious deep‑dive into the Steelmen’s current form, his own playing days, and life after football.
The episode delivers a perfect mix of nostalgia, football insight, raw honesty, and pure Motherwell chaos.
Listeners are taken on a journey from the Dundee pre‑match build‑up to dressing-room scraps, Champions League memories, and the brutal reality of retirement, all wrapped up in the trademark Motherwell Daft humour.
Key Highlights
A Fighter Again (Literally)
Rammers reveals he has agreed to an unlicensed, no‑headguard boxing match in eight weeks — a midlife crisis he’s leaning into with full commitment. His reason? Craving purpose after retirement.
Dundee Preview & Title Talk
The lads break down Motherwell’s upcoming clash with Dundee, chat form, confidence, pitch conditions, and even whisper about title race possibilities if they beat Celtic next.
“My Club” – Rammers on the Modern Motherwell
Rammers shares his love for the club, the fans, and the remarkable similarities between the current squad and the Stuart McCall era teams that punched above their weight.
VAR Rant of the Week
The trio rip into VAR — the delays, the inconsistency, the loss of joy — and debate how it’s killing the match‑going experience.
Dressing Room Chaos
From head‑butting a teammate twice at Bradford, to an on‑pitch scrap with Stevie Hammell, Ramers shares wild stories from behind the scenes of his playing career. [Motherwell...Ep_5_Audio | Word]
Life After Football: The Truth
Retirement hit hard. Drinking too much, losing routine, and losing identity — until lockdown pushed him into rebuilding his life, launching a fitness business, and finding purpose again. Raw, honest, powerful.
Predictions for the Weekend
Rammers & Crofty: 1–0 Motherwell
Peter: 3–1 Motherwell
All convinced the momentum is real — enjoy every second of the ride.
