It's been a while since we've reminisced about the good old days of sticker collecting in the 1990s, and with the release of Panini's brand-new anthology, it gave us the perfect excuse. Ash Rose welcomes back author and the oracle of sticker collecting Greg Landsdowne back on to the show and the pair go gooey-eyed over Panini once again. #Keepit90s

We're sticking with a summer theme for this episode and looking back at England's international tournaments of the 1990s. Ash Rose and Ed Chambers are joined by Stuart Steelyard as they chat through the US Cup, Umbro Cup and Le Tournoi as the three different flavours of international friendly fun. Talking points include Graham Taylor's darkest days, the Corthinian figure-inspired squad of 1995 and questioning where the FA have now put Le Tournoi trophy.

What did we all do in those summers without a major tournament? We didn't even have social media or the internet to feed our football hunger. Ash Rose and Ed Chambers look back at what we did in the 90s and recall the long wait for transfer news, seeing new kits in Match and Shoot and relying on end of season videos to get their football fix. Plus chat on magazines, soccer schools and which footballer's father Ed once walked in on whilst bathing! Keep it 90s.

In a final look back at the 'class of 1992-93' and the famous Alive and Kicking advert, we speak to Tottenham duo Paul Stewart and Darren Anderton. The pair may not have featured in the poster for Sky's promotion, but were very much part of the advert thanks to some classic cheesy scenes of the era. Stewart talks through his role as well as his move to Liverpool that summer, while there's a look back at Anderton's rise to stardom after his move from Portsmouth. Keep it 90s!

Ash Rose and Ed Chambers reconvene for another 'xi' themed episode of the original 1990s football podcast. The task this time around is to put together an XI from the decade's title winning sides, picking 2 each from Liverpool (1990), Arsenal (1991 or 1998), Leeds (1992), Blackburn (1995) and then three from any of Man Utd's triumphs. Give it a go yourself and keep it 90s!

We're travelling back to 1992 on this episode and look back on a year that really did change football forever. Ash and Ed are joined by Rob Fletcher, who's about to release his new book 1992: The Birth of Modern Football and they each pick a high and a low from the eventful year. There's chat on Euro 92, Gary Lineker, and Alive and Kicking, plus some notable nods to the more unique things about 1992. Keep it 90s.

We're getting to finally finish off our STILL Alive and Kicking series with the last few episodes, and chatting to QPR representative Andy Sinton. The Rangers winger talks to Ash about his time at Loftus Road, being part of the side that finished top London club in 1992/93, scoring on the first Monday Night Football and looking back at the famous sky advert.
We're talking managers today, but instead of going back to the obvious names of the decade, Ash Rose and Ed Chambers talk about the most under-appreciated gaffers of the 1990s. In a format not too dissimilar to a well-known BBC pod, the boys countdown the 10 best names and each put them in their own personal order. There's chat on memorable promotions, unlikely trophy wins and just how high Ash would dare put Gerry Francis. Keep it 90s.

Back for another year and more talk of the decade that changed football forever. To kick off 2023, Ash and Ed chew the fat over some listener questions and topics that you wanted us to discuss. So, there's chat on the greatest season in Premier League history, Liverpool's 90s 'decline' and the dominance of Italian football. Plus, a dive into the classic and cringey link between soaps and football during the decade, and a pitch for a new ITV drama centred around a familiar face of the time. Keep it 90s!

Alive and Kicking delves into a rare area we haven't yet covered on the show as we look at the role of newspapers in the 1990s. Joining Ash Rose and Ed Chambers is one of the games leading journalists Paul McCarthy, who spent the 90s at The News of the World and The Express sports desks. The boys chat about differences in the media game to the way it currently is, and Paul reveals some classic stories from the era.

When you think of Oldham in the 1990s, Andy Ritchie comes to mind pretty quickly, so no wonder he was Sky's choice for their classic 1992 campaign. In this chat, we speak to Latics legend about those early Premier League days and filming the famous Alive and Kicking advert. #Keepit90s
