Goodbye Quickly Kevin – the podcast that proved 90s football was silly, and great

Like many middle-aged men struggling to let go of the past, I was gutted earlier this year to hear that Quickly Kevin, Will He Score? was coming to an end. Launched in February 2017, it provided an irreverent, joyous and outright hilarious look at football in the 1990s across more than 300 episodes. It was a huge success and is, quite simply, my favourite ever podcast.

As such, I felt compelled to talk to the hosts Josh Widdicombe, Chris Scull and Michael Marden about doing the show, as well as about 90s football in general. To paraphrase Quickly Kevin’s regular sign-off: Robbie Slater, see you later, lads. You’ve been great.
