Who we are

We're two football mad fans who love the beautiful game—especially the parts that often slip through the cracks of memory. While the world remembers the Rooney’s and Gerrards of the Premier League past, we’re here to celebrate the unsung heroes, players and moments that might not make the headlines but still hold a special place in our hearts.

What we do

Each week, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, bringing you stories of those lesser-celebrated Premier League players, managers, and moments that you forgot you loved. Whether it’s a stunning free-kick, a bizarre moment, or just a player who deserved more love, we’re here to shine a light on the Premier Leagues lesser celebrated icons of the past.

Stay up-to-date

Join us every Friday with a fresh dose of football nostalgia delivered straight to your inbox. Our weekly newsletter is the perfect weekend warm-up, filled with stories that will jog your memory and get you ready for the weekend’s football action.
