On this week’s Friday episode , The notorious Steve Sidwell holds down the fort, filling in for Crouchy and the absent Chris Stark on their holidays.

There’s a proper fan-boy moment from producer Jamie over one of the most outrageous free kicks of the season, before moving into the lengths a club could take to allow a player to retire at the club shirt you started at. And of course, it wouldn't be Friday without a spicy Dogfight League update , and a Ski XI full of powder puns and alpine banter.
