What Has Disappeared From Scottish Football? Sausages, James Bond and Love Bombing

Off the Ball Podcast

Available for 25 days

The most petty and ill informed podcast in the world! Writer Tony Haggerty's new book has prompted us to take a wistful gaze back into the past - what do you miss from the bygone days of Scottish football? Bone-crunching tackles, Macaroon bars, players coming out the tunnel and jumping up pretending to header the ball? Who from Scottish football would make a great James Bond and just how wild did things get when The Pogues played in the Mucky Duck pub in Shotts? All this plus the Soft-drinks XI and the Terracing Teaser.
