Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

Miguel Pereira made his second appearance on the podcast to discuss his latest book, The Greatest: The Never Ending Story of Real Madrid. We discussed whether Real Madrid are the greatest club of all time, as well as some of the great teams and players the club has produced (or bought!). Plus, Miguel — just as he does in his book — dispelled some of the misconceptions surrounding the club and its history.

We headed back to South Wales for our latest episode with Newport County fan and avid Wales supporter Sean Mills.

We talked about how he became a Newport fan, their mad cup runs over the past ten years, the quirks of Rodney Parade, and their turbulent 1990s and 2000s before their successful rise out of those dark days. We also talked about Sean's various trips away watching Wales — from being at Euro 2016 to his recent trip to Copenhagen, and traipsing around Kazakhstan with a hangover.
