A podcast series in which two old uni friends, Matt Ketchell and Richie Wyatt, attempt to track down and interview as many footballers who featured in the 1997 Merlin Premier League sticker book as they can find. The pair ask players questions football fans have always wanted the answers to, take a nostalgic dribble through the playing career of their guest and stop to focus on the 1996/97 Premier League campaign, a period widely regarded as British football’s sweet spot.

Craig Hignett: Part 1 | Middlesbrough | Sticker No. 319 | 1997

Former Middlesbrough winger Craig Hignett made 465 appearances over a 20-year football career. He appeared on page 77 as sticker no. 319 in one of the most fantastically assembled Premier League squads of all-time. The 1996/97 season was arguably the best, worst and craziest in the history of Boro: deducted points for failing to fulfil a Premier League fixture, losing finalists in the League Cup and FA Cup, relegated on the final day of the season. In this episode we discuss nights out with mortgage advisor / Premier League referee Jeff Winter, chasing down Bernie Slaven, Ravenelli’s magic strawberry pies and fighting team-mates on the morning of a cup final. Higgy had so many stories that his episode has been split into two parts, with the second instalment following this episode.
