“With lockdown 2 ahead can John restart his brilliant retro themed shows. Here are my top 3 id like him to do.
1. The 1966 World Cup tournament.
2. The 1970 World Cup tournament and the 1970 Final. A game he was actually at. Watching one of, if not THE most iconic games in football history.
3....”Read full review »

“Phenomenal analyst, great intelligence of the game despite what some people think. Calls it as he sees it and always well worth the listen. I just wish off the ball would be the same and reply to emails and messages etc.”

“I have Loved watching and now listening to John Giles football analysis over the past 3 decades or more. I think on this podcast the presenters need to tap into his past memories of great games and players while we have the chance but also present new questions and quires each Thursday as he can...”Read full review »

“Good podcast at times - marked down due to Johnny’s repetition and he fact that sometimes he hasn’t even seen the games he’s giving his opinion on.”

“I love this show - it s the first Podcast I look for every Friday morning. Giles is insightful and grounded - he speaks a ton of sense about the game. Eoin and Ken are also great foils for Johnny Giles' wisdom.
Great to hear him last year express the opinion the Rooney could become the best...”Read full review »

“John giles is very over rated in my view. He likes to reminiss about his playing days but has very little insight regarding current goings on. He regularly struggles to think of the names of well known players. I wonder how much he actually cares anymore?”

John Giles has a crystal clear understanding of the professional game and the inside knowledge on the psychology of the game and the culture.
This is real.”
