The Famous Sloping Pitch with Nick Hancock and Chris England

Ep. 27 - Lloyd Griffith - A plate of chicken

Nick Hancock and Chris England discuss how the Ukraine crisis could affect football, historical moments when politics and sport have collided, some Tomelu Tukachel news, more woe at Man United and the renewed possibility of a title battle.

Nick and Chris are also joined by comedian, actor, presenter, and Grimsby Town fan, Lloyd Griffith. Nick, Chris and Lloyd chat about when he first started supporting Grimsby, coverage of the 'lower leagues', borrowing football shirts, regional accents and Ted Lasso.
 
Lloyd Griffith and Darren Harriott's Peaky Blinders podcast is available on BBC sounds from 27th Feb.

Nick Hancock and Chris England are old friends who have both been struck by the same soul-shattering thought: "how is it that everything that has changed about football since I started watching it has made it a little bit more s**t?".
