    Episode 37: Piers Hewitt & Southend United F.C.
    Nov 21 2024
    Drummer, football podcaster and Roots Hall addict Piers Hewitt reveals his carefully selected Southend United Ultimate XI. We're down in the lower leagues again, which means many things; loan player love-ins, bald club legends, and cries of "I Had No Idea He Played For Them" galore. Whilst this XI may lack top-flight experience, the players Piers has fallen in love with more than make up for it in grit, loyalty and ambition. And this is apparent in the number of players The Boxer Rebellion drummer picks from the highs (back-to-back promotions) and lows (financial chaos) of the Shrimpers' recent history.

  • Episode 36: Mehreen Khan & Chelsea F.C.

    Episode 36: Mehreen Khan & Chelsea F.C.
    Nov 7 2024
    This episode we are joined by powerhouse journalist Mehreen Khan, The Times economics editor and co-host of Heroes and Humans of Football podcast, and she manages to pick a side that is spiritually and intrinsically 'Chelsea' but does not necessarily feature some of the names we would expect to make it in to an all-time Blues XI. Her unbridled passion for her team shines through though; Mehreen talks about how she first fell in love with the West London club and reflects fervently on the players she picks that represent her attitude to life and football, and what gets created is an XI that all Chelsea fans will appreciate and that Mehreen can stand behind proudly.

  • Episode 35: Kadie-Leigh Hanlon & Barnsley F.C.

    Episode 35: Kadie-Leigh Hanlon & Barnsley F.C.
    Oct 22 2024
    In this episode I chatted to Barnsley's brightest young social media superstar, the lovely Kadie-Leigh Hanlon. Kadie-Leigh is an EFL evangelist on Instagram and talks all things Tykes on TikTok; her video interviews are fast becoming must-watches for all football content consumers, so it was a pleasure to hear her select her greatest Barnsley XI. Once I had got over the initial shock of realising that I own football socks that are older than Kadie is, I let myself get swept away and fell in love with the home-grown heroes and Premier League-level talent that the Yorkshire side have had represent them over the years. With a few names from recent years and some icons that even Kadie-Leigh's grandparents would struggle to remember clearly, this Ultimate XI epitomises everything that's great about Kadie-Leigh and her beloved Barnsley F.C.; youthful and dynamic but with a proud understanding of tradition.
