The Football & I Podcast: Recent Episodes
Eoghan Dowling
On this podcast we talk to our wonderful guests and discuss their lives through and in relation to this game we call football. We touch on memories, favourites and hopefully, in a desperate attempt to get a good soundbite, we touch on some emotions too.
As the great Bill Shankly once said "Some people think football is a matter of life and death, I assure you. It’s much more serious than that, it’s an excuse for male 20 somethings to make podcasts about".
Wise words Bill.
Jack Koch explains why North Macedonia is called North Macedonia, what more of a reason to listen could you want?
Enjoy folks!!
Mini Heatwave, Easter eggs, our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ being resurrected and episode 8 is out, what a week!
Dave Darrock joins us this week to discuss his footballing life story. Dave gives us his lockdown TV show recommendations, spills the tea on being a match day mascot and reveals what it's like to see your team lose 9-0 twice, poor fella.
Enjoy folks!
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY MATCH ATTAX I NEED TO KNOW!
My old friend Tom Farrell joins us this week to talk us through his footballing story. Tom gets borderline worryingly romantic about David Beckham, reveals some behind the scenes facts about Alton Towers, shows off his Match Attax swaps and reveals it was indeed him him who invented the ball playing defender role.
Of course it was, enjoy!

Enjoy folks!
Really running out of guests here as this week I'm joined by my actual Dad - Finbarr Dowling! This one really is a great listen, some of my highlights include Finbarr calling Maradona Madonna multiple times, saying Putin 'isn't a nice person', calling Pep Guardiola out for being a hypocrite and making multiple references to the behaviour of catholic priests.
I wish I was joking, enjoy folks!!
Oh my gosh its that bloody guy from Tik Tok isn't it!
Honoured to have an actual legit guest on this week as we're joined by one of the co-hosts of the hugely popular The 90th Minute Podcast, Matt Wozniak.

This week's guest was the wonderful Ben Bradley, one of my closest friends from uni and now a very good physiotherapist despite his brain development being held back by supporting Man United!
Join us as we explore Ben's footballing journey, touching on everything on the way from his sexuality to FIFA on the Wii, another normal episode then!
