Lars Sivertsen: the beautiful football community of Bryne, writing the book on the genius of Erling Haaland and the recent resurgence of the Norwegian national team
A regular on Football Weekly and On the Continent, Lars Sivertsen joined us to chat about football in his homeland of Norway. We discussed his hometown of Bryne and theur local football club - the same town and club that gave the world Erling Haaland. As well as delving into the fan culture of Norwegian football, we heralded Norway's latest golden age, being led by Haaland - a player Lars wrote the book on last year.

Jamie Cureton: the first player to score in the top ten tiers of English football, his storied career through the Premier League to non-league and a brief stint in South Korea.
It was a privilege to have a true footballing legend on the podcast — a man who , from now on, will forever be a pub quiz answer: Jamie Cureton. Recently becoming the first footballer ever to score in each of the top ten divisions of English football — and doing so at the age of 50 — Jamie joined us to talk about that historic feat with King’s Park Rangers, and to reflect on his remarkable career spanning the Premier League, Football League, and non-league, plus a brief stint abroad with Busan I’Cons in South Korea. Plus, saying no to Alex Ferguson, Jamie's alternate timeline and a lot of love for Barry Hayles and Phil Parkinson.
