Episode Description
🎙️ Welcome to This Week’s Award-Winning Podcast!
Russ and Waggie are joined by fan debutant and one of County’s resident historians — Marcus Heap.
We put Marcus through his debut questions, and unsurprisingly, with him being a historian, the answers come packed with knowledge, detail, and brilliant insight into his County journey.
A great introduction to one of the club’s most passionate and knowledgeable voices.
🔍 We Dive Into:
⚽️ The 2–1 “Game of Two Halves” Against Plymouth
A (slightly) shallow dive into the contrasting first and second-half performances, the minutes’ applause — disrespect or misunderstanding? Wootton’s outrageous backheel, Sidibeh’s incredible jumping reach, and Tanto’s WWE-style return.
⚽️ Leyton Orient Preview (Home)
Are we confident against a Richie Wellens side? Can we confuse their players by throwing empty crisp packets on the pitch? And are we finally due to a win after last season’s play-off heartbreak?
🔄 Transfers Chat
Louie Barry, the prodigal son, returns (injured) for the third time and is this the best transfer window of the Stott era?
📚 County History Special
We then hand over to Marcus for a fascinating deep dive into the history of our beloved club. We had plenty lined up, but only managed to cover a few — including:
- “13 Men and a Dog” - The myth around the 1921 Leicester City fixture at Old Trafford (including are we The Original Football Crew? lol)
- Re-elections to the Football League in the late ’70s and ’80s
- The most influential figures in the club’s history
Because of the depth and quality of this discussion, there’s no Random Sh*t of the Week this time — and honestly, you won’t miss it (not that many would).
💬 Over to You
If you enjoyed the history chat, let us know if you’d like a dedicated podcast or mini-series on the club’s past. We loved recording it, and there’s so much more to explore.
