Interview with Giles Goford

We begin our discussion with a look at iconic Ipswich Town players from the 1980s, highlighting the '81 UEFA Cup-winning team and giving a special mention to the remarkable manager, Bobby Robson. Our chat naturally includes the joys of football sticker collecting and our shared, albeit unwanted, Premier League record.We then delve into Giles's book, "Head for the Floodlights," exploring the complexities of traveling to all 92 football grounds in the 1980s. We discuss the strategies and tools used by Giles and his father to document their adventures across England and Wales. The book's pictures take us back 35 years, showing how grounds looked before the Premier League era.We attempt to unravel some mysteries, such as how Giles went paint-balling with the Scunthorpe United squad, what he liked about Twerton Park in Bath, and the special significance of Watford FC's Vicarage Road for Giles and his father.To wrap up, we share our enduring love for Atlanta sports, and Giles provides insights into his latest BBC documentary, "F1 in 10 Years," which is a must-watch for all fans.You can get Giles' book at: https://www.conkereditions.co.uk/product/headforthefloodlights/
