About this listen
Before Sky Sports and Champions League nights, there was a smoky evening in a Victorian City where football met electricity for the first time. In this debut episode, I share my own floodlit awakening at Thame United in the early 90s — cold chips in one hand, Styrofoam tea in the other — and trace the surprising history of how floodlights changed the game forever in England. From arc lamps on wooden towers to the FA’s decades‑long resistance, this is the story of how football stepped out of the shadows and into the glow.
