When Shorts Were Short S2 E12 - Mike Donovan (Classic Kits 1954-92)

December 30, 2021

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

My latest Classic Kits minisode guest is Mike Donovan, author of Football's Braveheart: The Authorised Biography of Dave Mackay. Mike has gone with several choices from the early sixties, the period when he fell in love with football and actually saw his kit choices live.

When Shorts Were Short - S2 E06 Steve Nicol

October 22, 2021

If the shorts weren't short, we just don't talk about it.

The guest this week is former Liverpool and Scotland, well, what was he? He could play so many different positions. It’s Steve Nicol. Arriving from Ayr United for £300,000 in October 1981, a considerable sum in those days for someone not out of his teens for another couple of months, Nicol would have to wait until Joe Fagan succeeded Bob Paisley a couple of years later for his first team breakthrough. This was the norm at Liverpool in those days. The club were now entering their second decade dominating the English game and even the likes of Terry McDermott and Ray Kennedy, established first teamers at Newcastle and Arsenal respectively, had struggled to hold down a regular place in their first two seasons with the club after arriving in 1974.

(Technically speaking, the '91-92 season didn't involve 'short shorts', with Liverpool being early adopters of the revived baggy look.)

Locations wanted for comedy short

September 30, 2021

Ahead of possibly making a comedy short, I am currently scouting for film locations, two of which will be tricky.

I’m looking for access to a café. Though I spend my life in the same one, I don’t want to ask them for obvious reasons.

I’m also looking for access to a DIY store that includes amongst its wares bathroom products, such as sinks, WCs, etc.

Both must be in London for ease of transporting the actors.

If you’re able to help with either of these locations, or put me in touch with someone that can, please drop me an email with ‘comedy short’ in the title.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

When Shorts Were Short - S2 E04 Bob Wilson (Part 1 of 2)

September 24, 2021

If the shorts weren't short, we just don't talk about it.

This week’s episode is our first two-parter, a comprehensive interview with Arsenal’s ’71 double-winning ‘keeper Bob Wilson, also, of course, for an entire generation, the presenter of what was during his time with the show, the formidable Football Focus, the Saturday lunchtime preview show that existed within the BBC’s Grandstand.

Bob had three hugely successful careers. As the Arsenal number one of the late sixties and early seventies, and as we’ll hear, securing the number one shirt of his beloved north London club was far from easy. Then there was the football broadcasting career, first with the BBC and then later at the end, with ITV, but he was also the man who, after seeing the Brazilian ‘keepers training with a goalkeeping coach during the ’66 World Cup who brought that into the British game. Goalkeeping coaches, and goalkeepers, in this country owe a huge debt to the man whose signature save, diving head first at the feet of an opponent, arguably shortened his career.

This week we concentrate on Bob’s early life, studying at Loughborough University, almost becoming a Busby Babe, playing as an amateur for Wolves’s reserves during the back end of the Stan Cullis era, before he finally ends up at Arsenal where it’s five years before he finally nails down the number one spotwith a fine performance in a FA Cup fifth round replay defeat at Birmingham.

When Shorts Were Short - S2: E02: Steve Hunt

September 3, 2021

If the shorts weren't short, we just don't talk about it.

This week’s guest is former Villa, New York Cosmos, Coventry, West Brom and England midfielder Steve Hunt. Steve’s recently released autobiography, ‘I’m with the Cosmos’ looks back at a playing career that saw him overcome an early blow when the club he supported, Aston Villa, transferred him to that mythical NASL club New York Cosmos. This early blow of being let go by the club of his childhood was more than softened by his time in New York, a period that saw him play alongside Pele, Carlos Alberto, Franz Beckenbaur and the super confident Italian forward Giorgio Chinaglia.
