We round off TFDP Series One with a nostalgic Manchester City team picked by Caroline Clark. My mum rounds off the podcast by choosing players old and new, from the good times and the bad, but all who embodied the club in every game they played. We talk wide boy recruitment techniques, the glory days of the late 60s and booting dogs up the backside. It's a riot. Enjoy!

If it's not one thing, it's your mother. In this case it's Caroline Clark, and she's is talking about my beloved Manchester City. Though I don't necessarily agree on several of her opinions, we get a brand new generational angle on a number of footballing issues. We get insight into hooliganism in the 1980s, City's departure from Maine Road and the financial resources in football, plus all of the peaks and troughs of being a City fan. Enjoy!

Dan Haygarth builds his dream Everton all-time XI from all corners of the club's history. He draws on some personal inspirations and family favourites, as well as those that have helped bring Everton success in the time that they played. Dan submitted his team in advance, so I should have been more prepared than I was, but it still makes for an interesting listen, and a nostalgia trip for any Toffees fans. Enjoy!

Mr Main Stand Musings Dan Haygarth lives and sweats Everton, so we engage in the deepest football chat of the series so far. A lifetime of football-induced character building has certainly shaped Dan's younger years, and a series of false dawns have made him sceptical about any prospect of success, but the Toffees' Ancelotti-Moshiri combination has given cause to smile again. We dig deeper into the controversial decision to leave Goodison Park, and try to really explain what the Merseyside Derby means to the City of Liverpool. Enjoy!

London boy Raff Marioni takes us on an extraordinary journey as he narrates an unorthodox footballing odyssey from clubless five-year-old to the Chelsea-mad man he is today. Raff doesn't hold back when he talks about his hatred for his rivals, and how money has defined Chelsea in its recent past, but it doesn't stop him divulging countless entertaining anecdotes that perfectly illustrate the day-to-day turbulence of being a Blues fan. Enjoy!

Harry Parsons lists his personal all-time XI from his beloved Luton Town. He chooses a handful of Hatters players from the club's heyday but the majority are personal and contemporary picks that mean the most to him. There aren't many recognisable names for non-Luton fans so it's a learning experience for all. Enjoy!

Helen Murray goes in depth on her all-time Manchester United XI, revealing her personal favourite Red Devils. Having only started following football relatively recently, there are a lot of modern picks in Helen's line-up, but their track record on the field leaves few disputable choices. Enjoy!

Our second TFDP instalment explores the journey of Manchester United fan Helen Murray. Being from Darlington, Helen's connections to United are familial, and while she'll be the first to admit that she's not the biggest football fan, we go very in depth into the post-Fergie era. We also delve into her growing interest in football, United's countless rivalries, and what the club itself personifies. Enjoy!
