Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

This week, we head to the apparent sunniest city in Scotland to dive into the fun of Dundee United. We are joined by Arabs fan Paul Henehan to discuss his life following the club - from the legendary European nights at Tannadice to the ‘City of Discovery’s’ unique football culture. Paul shares his memories of the iconic Shed terrace, the great team under the ‘Tyrant of Tannadice’ Jim Mclean, and the peculiar geography of having rivals Dundee FC just 200 yards away on the same street. Plus, we find out why the fans are called Arabs and how the club's name became a bizarre insult in Nigeria.

With the new League of Ireland season about to kick-off, it was a great opportunity to be joined by Chris Lee - the author of Shades of Green: A Journey Into Irish Football. We talked about the football grounds and fan culture in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with particular focus on the burgeoning football scene in the League of Ireland. Plus, we chatted about the shirts of the upcoming League of Ireland season, why Glentoran's The Oval is so wonderful and tales of meeting Tony Cascarino at a greyhound track in Dublin.

This week on Lost Boyos, we’re joined by our first ever guest who lives life between the sticks. Dani Strindholm is a professional goalkeeper currently playing for Swedish side Varbergs BoIS, having previously featured for Örebro in Sweden and Arendal in Norway. Dani has represented Sweden at U19 level and has been part of the U21 setup, but his football story starts even earlier — coming through the system at Málaga CF, a club he grew up supporting long before pulling on the gloves. We chat about goalkeeping life, the Scandinavian football scene, international call-ups, and what it’s really like progressing through the game as a young keeper.

When it comes to exploring every single corner of world football, no podcast does it better than The Sweeper. We were delighted to be joined by one of The Sweeper's co-hosts Paul Watson - a well-travelled football man to say the least. In this episode we talked about his coaching stint in Micronesia with Pognpei (and the book that followed, 'Up Pohnpei!'), how Paul ended up being the 'Simon Cowell’ on a Mongoalian football reality show and his love for all things San Marino - plus much, much more.
