Alive and Kicking: The 90s Football Podcast

Alive and Kicking delves into a rare area we haven't yet covered on the show as we look at the role of newspapers in the 1990s. Joining Ash Rose and Ed Chambers is one of the games leading journalists Paul McCarthy, who spent the 90s at The News of the World and The Express sports desks. The boys chat about differences in the media game to the way it currently is, and Paul reveals some classic stories from the era. There's also a chance to speak about Paul's new book 'Fever Pitch' and look back at the rise of the Premier League during his time as a journalist. Keep it 90s!
