It’s arrived! Episode 1000, and with it a chat with our favourite commentator, and official national treasure, George Hamilton.

Our first Second Captains podcast was released in May of 2013, with the support of our great friends at The Irish Times, and since then we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve sung (well, just Ken), we’ve read poetry (Eoin), we’ve pronounced ‘stones’ in a West of Ireland accent (Murph)…

So gather round, and listen to George talk about the reason why he loves Germany so much, being the original football hipster, and his Iceland moment at the Euros.

Plus there’s ‘agro-turismo’, Spurs’ momentous win over Real, and serenading our World Service members.
Massive thanks to all our listeners, the first 1000 episodes have been a blast – and we quite literally couldn’t have gotten here without you. Here’s to the second 1000…
