  • Steve Cain A.K.A Maradona (1st Leg)
    Diego Maradona was technically unavailable… mostly because we forgot he was no longer with us. Classic admin fail. But don’t worry—we’ve got a living legend instead: Steve Cain! From Coventry City FC to top-level management, he’s done it all. Now, as Director of Football at Oratia United FC, he’s shaping NZ’s football future.We dive into his journey—from international management to leading Waitakere United. He had so much to share, we made this is to a two leg episode, enjoy the first leg! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • James Montgomery A.K.A Ronaldo (R9)
    Brazilian Ronaldo was supposed to be here… but much like our five-a-side defensive structure, he vanished without a trace. Enter Monty—a police tournament champion, a goal machine if he doesn't say so himself.We discuss his greatest triumphs, his worst injuries, and the moral dilemma of supporting Manchester United (booo!). Plus, we ponder the true cost of grassroots football—sprained ankles, shattered egos, and the occasional trip to the hospital after scoring a screamer. Hosted on Acast.

  • Mike Hadnett A.K.A Dennis Bergkamp
    Dennis Bergkamp was supposed to be here… but much like our pre-match warm-ups, he never quite got off the ground. Enter Mike Hadnett—footballer, traveller, and the only man we know who can capture the beauty of grassroots football while dodging two-footed challenges.Mike takes us through the chaos of away days in Argentina, the fine line between a strong tackle and a court case, and the unexpected places football can lead you—sometimes to love, sometimes to A&E.Also, Mike is a sports photographer and a damn good one at that. Check out his work at mikehadnett.nz, because someone should be capturing these moments properly.Listen now before we get hit with another retrospective red card. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Kenny Walker A.K.A Roy Keane
    Roy Keane was supposed to be here… but much like our hopes and dreams, he vanished without a trace. Enter Kenny Walker—grassroots hero, airborne acrobat, and survivor of football-induced lung punctures. He takes us on a journey through the highs (bicycle kicks), the lows (not being able to breathe), and the existential crisis of never finding boots that fit.Also, we finally got some proper sound equipment, so you can hear every word of our nonsense in crisp detail. Sorry about that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Mark Oxley A.K.A James Milner
    In our second episode, we set our sights on James Milner… but got ghosted again. Thankfully, local legend Mark Oxley answered the call! From dodgy refs to rugby showdowns, his grassroots adventures are pure chaos. Listen out for a 240-year-old grandfather clock that’s somehow younger than him—and you might even discover a brand-new football position along the way. Expect laughs, baffling decisions, and stories you won’t believe! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
