As we’ve got Aston Villa on the brain, this episode of The Extra Ball wades into the 1996 Coca Cola Cup final, so you don’t have to. It was a fiesta of marching bands, tracksuit bottoms and Virginia Bottomley – all viewed through a haze of teenage drinking and questionable videos on the Wembley buses. We remember happier times, as the 1991 Leeds United squad – Mike Whitlow in particular – is the driving force behind the next round of the analogue board game Soccer Supremo. With the club’s centenary on the horizon, we lay down the requirements for next season’s kit. Should we really consider going full Huddersfield? Meanwhile, the podcast is bookended by everybody’s favourite soon-to-be-relegated manager Neil Warnock.
