The Famous Sloping Pitch with Nick Hancock and Chris England

Ep. 2.33 - Alistair McGowan

Nick Hancock and Chris England discuss the revenge of the referees, , the ‘medieval’ 3’o’clock blackout and, of course, some Oldham shit (and some Oldham kit too, actually).

Nick and Chris are also joined by national treasure and impressionist Alistair McGowan who tells us why he switched teams in his younger years, why some footballers are easier to impersonate than others, and what happened when he did impressions of certain Newcastle footballers in front of the entire squad at one of their weddings. 

We’ve also made it to the World Wide Web (well, Twitter) - get in touch and follow us on Twitter @slopingpitch, it’s mostly what Nick does in his spare time these days.

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?".
