From packed stadiums, top of your lungs singing and last minute winners.

To Modi Grassroots pitches, half-time oranges and mum and dad stood on the sidelines.

For 25 years, Barclays has invested millions into community sports

because there is no football without grassroots football.

This is a global player original podcast.

Thank you. Global Player Original Podcast Welcome in Hazah Shaggers and welcome to the Friday bonus ball.

Now this is New Ground, Brave New Ground for the Restlessless natives podcast because for the first time I'm flying solo.

There is no Mr Maltese eyes.

The waistcoat wearing TV detective sprinkling his stardust.

We'll have to wait for another day because he's too busy filming what he's calling his documentary in Las Vegas to be here today.

There's also another reason we can't talk about in the podcast, but it involves shenanigans in London and something I might be able to talk about

once the police investigation's finished.

That's all we'll say for now, but never fear, everything's okay.

So in the absence of Martin Comston, Robert De Nerely,

Fanny DeVito himself,

I thought I'd share some of your wonderful correspondence which has come in

recently since the new year on the Friday bonus bot. And as always, get in touch with us. Hello at

RestlessNativespodcast.com. It's time to stir a bit of that up again. We'd love to hear from you.
