Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

It has been a hell of a season for Coventry City. Coventry super fan Joey Coombes joined us to talk about the thrills of Cov's 2025/26 season, as well as the crazy 25 year journey to get back to the big league. Plus, we talked about how Coventry is a 'real city', watching the team play on a hill in Northampton for a season, and memories of Highfield Road.

This week, we were delighted to be joined by Maksims Krivuņecs, the President of the Virslīga - the Latvian professional football league. We kicked off with a brief trip down memory lane by discussing Southampton legend Marians Pahars and Latvia’s historic Euro 2004 appearance, before diving into the current culture of Latvian football culture: the unique 'forest' grounds by the beach, the change from a 'one champion league' to varying league winners, and Maksims’ own work, with his team, in bolstering engagement with the league. Plus, we explored his ambitious vision for a unified Baltic League and why a partnership with Estonia and Lithuania could be the key to unlocking the region's true potential.

Marc was in the host’s seat this week, as Matt wanted to be one of the guests to celebrate ten years since he first visited Slovakia—a country where he spent two years watching football up and down the Slovak football pyramid, as well as venturing into the leagues of neighbouring Central European countries.

Joining Matt as a guest was his good friend from his Slovak years, Thanos Michael. Thanos moved to Slovakia from his home in Greece and soon fell in love with the country and its football—especially his beloved Spartak Trnava, who he has watched every game (so far) this season.

We also talked about some of the fun grounds in Slovakia, the wackiness of the Slovak football scene, Matt’s love for the Slovakia national team between 2016 and 2018, and Thanos's impressive feat of watching four games in four different countries in 24 hours.

Thanos runs a Slovak football account on X, which you can find at @slovak_football.
