Welcome to the Old Mates, New Laughs Podcast page – a place for those of us who grew up in the 80s, survived the 90s, and are now wondering how the hell we got to middle age so fast!
We’ve been mates for 40 years, which means we’ve seen it all – from dodgy 80s haircuts and 90s Britpop, to the joys (and struggles) of being responsible adults (sort of). Our podcast is all about looking back, laughing at ourselves, and figuring out how we got here. Expect nostalgia, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of sarcasm!
We know that our podcast is nothing without it's listeners, and this is where you come in:
Reminisce – Share your favourite memories from growing up in the best decades. What were your favourite kids TV shows? What toys did you play with?
Debate – Whether Blur or Oasis was better (or if you were too cool for both)
Laugh – At the stuff we all thought was normal back then
Relate – To the joys and disasters of hitting middle age
So, if you remember life before the internet, still miss Woolworths, and wonder how we’re now old enough for back pain… you’re in the right place!

This week the Old Mates kick back for a proper fireside chat about the beautiful game. We dive into why we support the teams we do, who our favourite players are, the most disappointing flops, and the goals that gave us goosebumps. A relaxed, nostalgic episode for football fans of every stripe.
Football isn’t just about what happens on the pitch—it’s about the memories, the heartbreaks, and the heroes who make us fall in love with the game. In this week’s episode, the lads get together for a fireside-style chat about their personal journeys as fans. We explore why we chose our clubs, our favourite players of all time, the ones who let us down, and the goals that will stick with us forever. Whether you’re Premier League obsessed, a casual fan, or just here for the banter, this is one for you.
