Episode 19 - FinnPa (FIN) & Karlstad BK (SWE)

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/07/23

Episode 19 is another double episode, as we visit Finland and Sweden. The two clubs may not have been the flashiest to grace the game, but their stories are worth telling for different reasons. FinnPa climbed through the leagues (with the backing of a major airliner) to make it to the top tier of Finnish football, even making an appearance in the UEFA Cup; but a season later, they were gone, just like that! Karlstad BK existed as a club for a hundred years or so, but they never really reached the

In this Feature Episode, we cover absolutely everything Welsh football! We talk about some of the Welsh clubs that have disappeared, why the game in Wales is not attracting attention, how they might attract fans to games, if it's a good idea to bring English clubs back into the Welsh Cup, and everything in between. Our special guest is Welsh football enthusiast Mark Jones, and he takes us through every topic we possibly could, including the recent woes of the Wales national team. It's one we

2023/07/09

This is a really interesting story about a club that has felt every emotion and event a football club can feel.

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/07/02

In Episode 17. we visit South America once again, with a trip to Brazil. This chapter of the book was quite short, and it's fair to say this club constitutes an actual 'Forgotten Football Club'. Barra Futebol Clube is one that not many people would have heard of but are a great example of how the Brazilian footballing pyramid can be a detriment to lower league clubs and one of the reasons why so many disappear from the footballing world. The second club to feature, however, is a little

For Episode 16, we discuss one of the more well-known clubs to feature in the book, English club Chester FC. Joining us to tell us how supporting them as been a bit of a rollercoaster throughout the years is author and Chester fanatic, Steve Hill. While Phil goes through the early years of the history of the club, Steve tells us about his experiences as a supporter and Chester's recent history. An eccentric American owner, a world-class striker playing for the club (and managing them) while also

Episode 15 - KSK Beveren (BEL) ft. Robin Beck

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/06/11

Episode 15 is our most emotional episode to date. It's a long episode, but it's definitely worth it as we tell you the story of KSK Beveren, the only Belgian club to be 100% fan owned. A club that has a rich history and has produced some of the biggest shocks in European football, it has also gone through turbulence and struggle. Here, to help us explain the history and the future of the club, we have KSK Beveren board member, Robin Beck, who tells us what happened, what may happen, and what

Episode 14 - HFC Haarlem (NED) ft. Vincent Duitsch

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/06/04

Episode 14 is one that we really enjoyed as we got to talk about Dutch football with one of the new members of the Forgotten Football Clubs team, Vincent Duitsch. Vincent's knowledge of the Dutch game helped us tell the story of HFC Haarlem, one of The Netherlands' older and well-known clubs, only disolving in 2010. A club with moderate success had to always compete against the big boys and did a good job of it throughout its history. As well as telling Haarlem's story, Vincent tells us

2023/05/28

In Episode 13, Rory and I travel to the Southern Hemisphere to visit clubs in Paraguay and South Africa. The first club, Atlético Corrales, were unique in that they withdrew from a league season to embark on a year-long tour around Latin America before political change led to their dissolution, while the second club, Jewish Guild FC, had George Best on their books. As we discuss, Best had a bit of a knack for playing at clubs who are now defunct. Both were short stories in the book, with unique

Episode 12 - Chivas USA (USA) ft. Stephen Brandt

2023/05/21

Episode 12 is one that we enjoyed very much, largely thanks to our special guest, Stephen Brandt who brings knowledge and passion to the Forgotten Football Club Podcast from the USA. It starts off with us talking about the former MLS club Chivas USA, a club franchise, within a club franchise, within a club franchise (yes, you read that right). They existed for 10 years and are the last club to drop out of the MLS at the time of recording. We go even further and talk about the pros and cons of the

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/04/30

For Episode 9, Rory and I look at the 50th club in the book, Thurles Town, a club that I selected for sentimental reasons. However, they offer one of the best feel-good stories in the book. Joining us on this episode is League of Ireland historian, Karl Reilly, who shares with us some great stories of past League of Ireland players, with one story in particular nearly bringing a tear to our eye. It another jammed packed show, in which we hope you enjoy. This is Part I of a League of Ireland Special

In this episode we start of with one of the shortest chapters of the book with former Swedish side Juventus IF, a club that was founded back in 1948, but were a carbon copy of Italian giants Juventus. A club that last more than 50 years, and seemingly on the up, decided to call it a day and merge with another club. We discuss what other doppelganger clubs are also out there and why this Swedish team may have folded. The second club we talk about is another Australian club. This time we talk about

It's Episode Seven now, and Rory and I have decided to visit sunnier climates, covering two former clubs from two separate continents. First, we visit South America and the country of Bolivia where a former club, La Paz FC played their football, and let's just say they reached some dizzying heights. From high altitudes, we go down under and to Australia for the first time in the series. There are two clubs that feature in the book from Australia, but we start with the intriguing story of

Episode 5 - CF Reus (ESP) ft. Paul McGarraghy

The Football Heritage Podcast ·

2023/04/02

We have a feature-length episode for Episode Five, as it is an exclusive story as to why the Spanish club, CF Reus went bust. It was one of the longer chapters in the Forgotten Football Clubs book, however, not all of the story was told, as I didn't have enough space to do so. Not to worry, as we have invited Paul McGarraghy onto the show to give us the full story. Paul was interviewed on the chapter of CF Reus for the book, but now he has come on to give an extended interview. This is one story

In Episode Four, we travel across the pond to Mexico and the USA. We dive into the stories of British Club of Mexico and the US club Atlanta Chiefs. Both are really interesting stories in different timelines of history, with British Clubs' story taking place in the early 1900s while Atlanta Chief's story begins in the 1960s. One is a story of a British immigrant whose dream is to become the best soccer player in Mexico, while the other story is of a club born from the inspiration of the 1966

The connection between Iceland and Scottish football is discussed, while we also discuss the challenges Icelandic clubs face to just even compete in their domestic league and not just European football. We then move on to talk about one of the more colorful clubs that feature in the book, FC JokerIT, a Finnish club who
