Description

In at number 11 in our countdown is Steve McClaren and England's ill-fated attempt at qualifying for Euro 2008. New in the job, Steve was tasked with giving England their English identity back after Sven-Goran Eriksson, the first foreigner to hold the position, had ruled the roost for so long. His first assignment proved to be his undoing however as his team failed to impress, culminating in a disastrous defeat at home to Croatia on a windy and rainy night at Wembley.This was the first big event to occur after the formation of The Football Ramble back in April 2007 and in many ways set the tone for the years to come, both in shambolic England performances and The Ramble having to resort to humour to get through difficult footballing times.

In 2007, The Football Ramble was born out of Luke Moore, Pete Donaldson, Marcus Speller and Jim Campbell’s passion for the most popular sport in the world—as well as a shared inability to take themselves too seriously. Since then, the boys have come a very long way: from a best-selling book to sold out live shows.Now, with the return of football post-lockdown, the Football Ramble brings you daily episodes of equal parts insight and hilarity. All this and more, Monday through Saturday. Lend us your ears and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest stories from the Premier League and all around Europe, all with an eye for both the sublime and the ridiculous.
