We're joined by author James Stephen to talk about the history of the Edinburgh Derby, one of Scotland's biggest fixtures.

Often overshadowed by the Old Firm, the Edinburgh Derby can trace its roots to 1875, making it one of the oldest rivalries in Scotland. Like their Glasgow counterparts, the Edinburgh Derby is drenched in socio-political, economic and historical context.

We're joined by author and journalist Miguel L. Pereira to talk about Clube União Fabril, a club who were a former Portuguese powerhouse. They once registered a 3rd place finish and boasted a number of young talents in their ranks.

But there was a catch: they were bankrolled entirely by Salazar's fascist regime.

We're joined by Chris Lee and Flemming Christensen to tell the story of Denmark's (and potentially Europe's) oldest association football club.

Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, or KB, were a multi-sports organisation founded in 1876, with their football club being added in 1878. They were one of the early dominant forces in Danish football, but after falling from grace merged with Boldklubben 1903 to form FC København.We ask Flemming, who grew up supporting KB, what it was like being a part of Denmark's emerging ultras scene and if trading KB for FCK has been worth it.

Rory is joined by journalist and podcaster Sam Lewis to discuss the maelstrom of issues surrounding the 'first' Matildas team, a recent controversy which has reshaped Women's football in Australia.

Sam published an article at the beginning of July explaining the issues surrounding the 1975 side who played in what came to be recognised as the first Women's Asian Cup. Their recent recognition as the first Australian Women's National Team has been problematic and caused serious issues among the Matildas alumni.

Rory and Sam also discuss the difficulty in tracing historic records from Women's football and other common issues in studying one of football's most forgotten areas of history.

We're joined by Nikos and Thanos for a conversation about the history and heritage AEK Athens.

Founded by Greek migrants from Constantinople following the Greco-Turkish War, AEK Athens grew to become one of the most successful clubs in Greece. Their primary fan group, Original 21, are known for their anti-fascism and left-wing outlook, largely stemming from their heritage as a club founded by migrants who considered outsiders by both Turkish and Greek people.

This episode covers their history, the heritage and identity of the AEK Athens support, along with Nikos' and Thanos' memories of supporting the club.

Note: Due to connection problems, issues with sound quality were not flagged during the recording of this episode and only appeared afterward. We have tried to make it as easy on the ears as possible, but otherwise apologise for the poor quality of audio.
