Podcast: Forgotten Football Clubs

Our guest is Philip O’Rourke, who runs the Forgotten Clubs blog. Join us as we delve back into the archive to discover lost football clubs, including the mysterious Brooklyn FC of Dublin and cross-town rivals St. James’s Gate, the team of the Guinness Brewery.

We also discuss Cathkin Park (pictured), the former home of Glasgow’s Third Lanark, which is now a fascinating public park.
