This is The Final Countdown. A podcast dedicated to all the great finals from the annals of football. Each week your hosts, Adam and Lewis, will do a deep dive (with a generous helping of nostalgia and humour) into one of the greats.

Episode 51 is a refreshing escape from the previous episode's political heaviness and instead, we get to talk about the "Disgrace of Gijon", Germans winning at Penalties (of course!) and whether Paolo Rossi is as good as Emile Heskey?

It FINALLY came home! The English get their hands on the Jules Rimet trophy for the first...and last...time and we discuss greats like Bobby Charlton, Franz Beckenbauer and Pickles the dog. Gary Lineker once said, "Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win" but we delve deep to find out why - in this instance only - it didn't happen!
