  • Totally Gold 92/93: The Premier League begins
    Aug 6 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1992/93 season - the dawn of the Premier League. A whole new ball game as Sky Sports called it.


    Man United ended their 26 year wait for the title, in a campaign transformed by Cantona. Could English football have taken a different tactical trajectory if high-flying Norwich had won the Premier League?


    Elsewhere, there was Oldham's incredible escape, Brian Clough's demise and big-name clubs being completely bamboozled by the new back pass rule.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • Totally Gold Champions League 01/02: Zidane downs Leverkusen in Glasgow
    Aug 3 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Alvaro Romeo on the 2001/02 Champions League season, and that Zidane goal in Glasgow. Was it that good?


    Perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history saw the Spanish overcome upstart German opposition at Hampden. Little did Real Madrid know that this would be their last Champions League title for 12 years. And little did we know that Leverkusen wouldn't be Neverkusen forever.


    Elsewhere, it was a maiden Champions League campaign for Celtic and Liverpool, and the dawn of a second group stage.


    Plus Beckham's metatarsal, Las Ketchup and the Proclaimers.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.


    RUNNING ORDER:

    • PART 1a: Leverkusen and Real Madrid taking different paths (02.00)

    • PART 1b: Celtic 4-3 Juventus (06.00)

    • PART 1c: Two group stages (08.00)

    • PART 1d: Another missed opportunity for Arsenal (10.00)

    • PART 2a: Las Ketchup (14.00)
