Totally Extra: the rise and fall of Colombia in the 90s
6 September - 1 hour 7 minsJimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Felipe Cardenas and Luis Miguel Echegaray to discuss one of the great forgotten sides of the last three decades - the Colombia team of the early 90s.
Led by Carlos Valderrama and sprinkled with the antics of goalkeeper Rene Higuita, Colombia captured the affections of many neutrals at Italia 90 and an iconic 5-0 win in Argentina saw them installed amongst the favourites for USA 94.
Amid the backdrop of death threats from the cartels, a side featuring Asprilla and Rincon were eliminated early with Andres Escobar tragically murdered 10 days after scoring a crucial own goal. Not the only Escobar in this remarkable story.

Underwhelming England head to Serbia + dream debuts in the WSL
Jimbo's got Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox and Tom Williams alongside him to run the rule over a busy weekend of international qualifiers and WSL action. England's 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park was perhaps predictably drab, but it was goals galore elsewhere and records broken for the likes of Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands - not to mention emotional scenes in Buenos Aires after Lionel Messi's last match on home soil with Argentina. There's a chance to reflect on the news that broke late on Thursday that Daniel Levy is to leave Tottenham after nearly 25 years as the league’s longest-serving executive chairman. And the brand new WSL season got underway in some style with Chelsea continuing their remarkable unbeaten run, Olivia Smith scoring a banger on her Emirates debut - and Ornella Vignola bagging a hat-trick on her debut at Anfield in the Merseyside derby! We've got epic away days, BBQs, sinkholes and Italy actually looking good in a World Cup qualifier for once... Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: World Cup qualifiers round up (00.50) • PART 2: England 2-0 Andorra (18.30) • PART 3: Truro City's very, very, very long journey, the magic of non-league and the rest of the qualifying action (27.05) • PART 4: Fallout from Daniel Levy's shock Tottenham departure (40.10) • PART 5: A look back on the WSL opening weekend (44.20) Hosted on Acast.

Leverkusen call time on ten Hag as Vardy arrives in Serie A
Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens alongside him for a whole lot of European football chit-chat after an eventful transfer deadline day. We begin over in Italy, where Jamie Vardy’s now having a party in Cremona after his late move to newly-promoted Cremonense. Speaking of strikers - will the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund cement Napoli’s status as favourites for the Serie A title? Next stop - Ligue 1 - where it was goals galore on Saturday, as Lille put seven past Lorient in an extraordinary second half showing and Toulouse v PSG finished 3-6 with a Joao Neves masterclass… where he scored a hat-trick featuring two overhead kicks! Over in the Bundesliga, Erik ten Hag’s short and fraught spell as Bayer Leverkusen manager was brought to a swift end following their collapse against 10 men in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Bremen. So where did it all go so wrong? And where do they turn next? And in La Liga, Barcelona felt the benefit of VAR going awry - but they could only draw with Rayo Vallecano as Real Madrid took advantage as they continued their perfect start to the campaign under Xavi Alonso. All that - plus the curse of being a former Manchester United manager, unsavoury scenes at the Leagues Cup final in Seattle - and the Sound of Music! Produced by Lucy Oliva.

(09.15) • PART 3: Ligue 1 review: Neves' perfect performance (24.20) • PART 4: Who'd be an ex-Man United boss?

Totally Extra: Nicolas Anelka…misunderstood?
On this week's Totally Extra, Jimbo is joined by Julien Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Michael Cox to celebrate the career of the famous French prodigy/journeyman - Nicolas Anelka. His footballing CV is unique - from Clairefontaine academy and PSG to Mumbai City via 6 Premier League clubs, and spells in Spain,Turkey and Italy.
