    Number 7: 2002/03

    Remember the name: The Magnificent 7th! After a dark but necessary month-long sojourn to the late 90s, we're back with a season that strikes a much brighter note. It's 2002/03 and David Moyes threatens to propel Everton back into Europe with a team that's greater than the sum of its parts, and with a starring role from a certain child sensation. This episode, in association with Down The Hatch, also includes a snippet of Liam's interview with journalist and statistician Gavin Buckland, with the full 75-minute sitdown to follow as a bonus episode.

    Number 6: 1997/98 part 2

    We resume our 1997/98 rewind with Howard Kendall having just won Manager of the Month. It can only be uphill from there then, right? WRONG! This episode features part of Liam's interview with The Blue Room's Les Roberts, and is brought to the people by Down The Hatch. Thanks to Sean Ponzini, Gary Lunt and Niall O'Donnell for their contributions.

    Number 5: 1997/98 part 1

    1997/98 was a season with clearly too many "good times" for just one show. Episode No.5 therefore covers the first part of that fateful campaign, and includes an interview with Evertonian and writer David Fehily, author of The Everton Domingo Sermons. Delayed kit releases and a sickening Ian Rush winner; some things never ever change. Thanks to Sean Ponzini, Gary Lunt and Niall O'Donnell for contributions to this episode, which is brought to you by top Liverpool bar and eatery Down The Hatch.

    Number 4: 2012/13

    Liam has four words for his co-host to kick off episode four, but is then lost for words when his Oldham away notes betray him. Kevin reaches into the Good Times Bobble Hat for the first time to reveal a very important decision awaiting the listeners... Special thanks to Sean Ponzini, Gary Lunt and Niall O'Donnell for contributions towards this episode, which is sponsored by Down The Hatch.

  • Number 3: 1999/2000

    Number 3: 1999/2000

    Here it comes, another year. One 12-year-old co-host enjoys a lock-in at The Brick, the other takes on the North Bank. In the present day, both of them ruin their chances of ever having Francis Jeffers on as a guest. Thanks to Sean Ponzini, Gary Lunt and Niall O'Donnell for contributions to this episode, which is brought to you in association with Down the Hatch.
