I'm Joe Devine and welcome to Whiteboard Football Extra.

Today the theme is nostalgia.

Continuing on from last week, I'm speaking to Premier League photographer Mark Leach

and committee member for the Capital Canaries, London Publican and my uncle, Damien

Devine.

I also spoke to the author of the new book

The Billionaires Club, James Montague.

His interview will feature on

next week's episode. Thanks for

downloading and enjoy the podcast.

I prefer

live football. I actually watch

very little football on the telly. You know, like a live game all the way through. I find that sometimes they kick off and you know how they're going to pass the ball and play. Every team. It's not like the Wimbledon and a Sheffield United. Launch it down the pitch against a team like Forest will try and play. Everyone plays the same football. And it's just like, I'll come in in 20 minutes. I know we're going to do it for the first 20. I'll come in then, ladies. Someone's about basketball going, you know. Just watch the last two minutes. For me, it's about life football. Yeah. Being in the stadium, the atmosphere of the crowd. Yeah. And I probably enjoy away games more. Yeah. Because it's a day out. Yeah. And you meet your mates and the gang and you don't know who you're going to bump into. So there's other stuff going on. Other stuff going on and you pick a pub and you have a few pints and it's very social. Yeah. That's one of the things we've talked about with other interviews actually is the idea of football as a collective

experience rather than an individual one. So rather than the way that I would normally watch

football would be in my house, probably alone, watching on the telly. It's a very, very different

thing to how you might do it. Because even if you're, you know, you go to Norwich regularly,

even if you're not there with people that you know you sort of know the people around you

and even the strangers who are there

you're all sort of part of a collective group right

I mean that opening game of the season
