In Episode 9 of Jumpers for Goal Posts, John Mitchell explores the lost clubs of British football — from fallen giants and ghost stadiums to struggling industrial towns and one unforgettable non-league FA Cup run. Featuring the haunting ruins of Third Lanark , the bizarre rise and fall of Thames A.F.C., the resilience of Workington, and a deeply personal story about playing for Thame United during their (not so) famous 2004 FA Cup run. A nostalgic journey through football ambition, financial collapse, community survival, and why some clubs continue to matter long after the trophies, terraces and floodlights fade.

Episode 8 of Jumpers for Goal Posts dives into the muddy, chaotic, and hilarious world of Sunday league football. From semi-pro disappointment at Chesham United F.C. to hangover cures on the Wycombe Rye pitches, John Mitchell explores the history of Sunday football in Britain alongside stories of terrible pitches, unforgettable teammates, raft races, red cards, and the friendships that made it all matter. A nostalgic look at the game far away from packed stadiums and television cameras — where football was played for laughs, loyalty, and “just four pints” on a Saturday night.

A warm, and hopefully witty dive into the history of football transfers — from the Wild West of the 1880s to the eccentricities of modern non‑league life. Part history, part nostalgia, part “did that really happen?”, this podcast explores how deals were done, who held the power, and why transfers still make us feel like kids staring at Ceefax, waiting for good news.
