Football Ramble

Mailbag: How should football copy other sports?

Jim, Andy and Rhythmic Pete Donaldson are back with another rummage in the postbag, addressing listener questions and problems with the poise and dignity you’ve come to expect. We start by wondering what aspects of other sports football should steal - a draft system? Pausing for afternoon tea? Mario Balotelli smashing up a car? We also place a few of our favourite pre-Premier League footballers in some 2024 line-ups and decide which teams should change their kit colours for prison jumpsuits.
