Rory and Phil cover 2 clubs from France in this week's episode.

Excelsior AC Roubaix started life out on top, turning professional in the 1932/33 season and winning the Coupe de France in the same year. However they peaked too soon, and after many attempts to recapture their early fortune through mergers, they eventually folded.

We're joined by Vincent Duitsch, who recounts the story of former Dutch club HFC Haarlem.

Always a bit of an underdog throughout their history, HFC Haarlem managed to keep pace with the larger sides in the Netherlands. They won the Eredivisie in 1946 and the KNVB Cup in 1902 and 1912, and enjoyed a short run in the 1982-83 UEFA Cup.

We're joined by Adrian Kearney from They Think Kits and FutbolShirtalia to cover one of the many controversial casualties of football regulation in Italy - Palermo FC.

The history of football in Palermo stretches back to 1898, and in 1900 Palermo FC were formed as the Anglo Palermitan Athletic and Football Club. They would become the biggest club in Sicily, but in 2019, under severe financial strain, were expelled from Serie B under controversial circumstances.

Rory and Phil travel to Poland and Hungary to cover another 2 clubs for this weeks episode.

Lechia-Polonia Gdańsk existed for 3 years following a merger, but after one of the merger clubs re-established their own team, Lechia-Polonia Gdańsk was abandoned and left as a shell club.

Budapesti VSC have had 15 name changes, and despite once being a powerhouse in Hungary, are now plying their trade in the lower leagues.

Both clubs frequently changed their identities, offering an interesting insight about how this affected attendances and fan identities.

We're joined by Dave Proudlove and Phil Harrison to discuss one of Europe's most significant former football clubs - Dukla Prague.

We go through their trophy-laden history, international exploits and the factors which allowed them to be as successful as they were. We also discuss FK Dukla Prague, the 'successor' to the original club, and ask if FK Dukla Prague truly call themselves the successor club of Dukla Prague.
