When Football Began Again - The Premier League Years podcast

In the first episode of a new feature, host Carl Jones is joined by former Sheffield United, Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Leicester, Benfica and England international Brian Deane.

We discuss scoring the first goal of the Premier League era, the move to Leeds United, the feeling of being dropped for a Wembley cup final and the motivation behind the move to Portugal and Benfica.

We also hear about his very differing opinions on two former Premier League managers he worked with, what it felt like to pull on an England shirt and the words of wisdom he received as a young player during a period when he doubted himself. 

We also find out who you voted for as the Premier League era's greatest Algerian from last week's show - see if you can guess...

Host Carl Jones is joined by comedian Joe Ross Williams and host of The Loathed Strangers podcast Rich Pullen to begin the countdown of the all-time Premier League table with Swindon Town.

We'll deep dive into the 1993/94 season as well as covering how Swindon reached the top flight for the first time in their history, the documentary that accidentally captured that feat and how things have gone since then. Spoiler alert: not always swimmingly.

There's also an epic round of Play Your Apps Right and the lads put forward two differing cases for who the Premier League's greatest Algerian player of all-time is.

In this episode, host Carl Jones is joined by poet, broadcaster and Barnsley fan Ian McMillan to share some of his most memorable matches, which goal he'd watch forever and which current or former Premier League player he'd choose to attempt a rescue mission.

Hear about the time Posh Spice was spotted in South Yorkshire, why Liverpool's 5-4 win over Alaves would have been a 0-0 draw had Ian sat down to watch it in full and just how enjoyable a 6-0 defeat can actually be. There are also several honorable mentions for Gary Willard.

Welcome to When Football Began Again, the podcast that takes a nostaligic look at the Premier League era.

In this pilot episode, host Carl Jones is joined by fellow comedians Alex Hylton, James Cook and Marvyn Dickinson to take an in-depth look at the 1992/93 episode of Premier League Years and much more besides. We cover Sky Sports' famous Whole New Ball Game ad campaign, decide who scored the Goal of the Season and recall Manchester United's first league championship win since 1968, the title challenges of Norwich City and Aston Villa and the legacy of Brian Clough.

We also decide who the greatest Albanian to play in the Premier League is (the choice is admittedly limited) and enjoy a surprisingly tense first game of Play Your Apps Right - the rules are simple and you can play along at home but you'll have to listen in to find out more!
