Steaming Cockles (Part 2)
A funny, curious and gloriously chaotic look at sport and the stories that surround it.
Part 2 of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, where the focus turns to sporting history and storytelling.
The lads revisit the life and career of Ivor Allchurch — the Golden Boy of Welsh football — a Swansea and Newcastle hero who played for Wales at the 1958 World Cup.
Elis also recommends the sports writing of Phil Stead, using it as a jumping‑off point for discussion about football, culture and how stories are told.
You don’t need to have watched or read anything to enjoy it.
