The lads revisit the life and career of Ivor Allchurch — the Golden Boy of Welsh football — a Swansea and Newcastle hero who played for Wales at the 1958 World Cup. Elis also recommends the sports writing of Phil Stead, using it as a jumping‑off point for discussion about football, culture and how stories are told. You don’t need to have watched or read anything to enjoy it.
