Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

This week on Lost Boyos, Matt is joined once again by returning co-host Gibbo — the perfect sidekick for this week’s guest, Atherton Collieries stalwart Emil Anderson, the man who first brought Gibbo into the world of working at Colls.

We chat about Emil’s childhood trips to Burnden Park, falling in love with the brilliance of Frank Worthington, and how his dad first took him through the gates at Atherton Collieries — a club that has shaped his entire life and where he now serves as long-standing club secretary.

There’s also plenty of love for Alder Street and its wonderfully disjointed charm, discussion of Emil’s favourite away days in northern non-league, and stories from football trips further afield — including matches in Cancún and Sered in Slovakia.

Joining us from his adopted home in Bogotá was Carl Worswick. Having written extensively on Colombian football for a wide range of publications, Carl was the perfect guest to guide us through the Colombian football scene — from the domestic game to the international stage.

We focused mainly on Bogotá before exploring other regions across Colombia’s rich and diverse football culture. The one thing that truly unites the country, though, is the national team. We also reeled off our favourite Colombian players, relived iconic moments and, of course, discussed those glorious shirts.

You can find Carl on X at @cworswick.

Plus, we chatted about the upcoming World Cup in the United States, the chances of USMNT success, and some general celebration of US soccer.
