Let's Be Having You! The 00s Football Podcast

Show Notes

We’re back with series three of Let’s Be Having You - and we are joined by Matt Forde, to continue our journey with England through the 00’s.

We pick up in 2002 following England’s exit from the World Cup at the quarter-final stage, and see the emergence of a generational talent - remember the name - Wayne Rooney!

Was David Beckham actually shit at penalties?! We talk about that, as well as Rooney making us all believe that England’s time had finally come at Euro 2004.
