In this special bonus episode of Game's Gone - The Steve Bracknall Podcast, we hear an extended version of the talk between Robbie Williams (Popstar and Port Vale FC fan) and Steve Bracknall (viral sensation and Assistant Manager of the Royal Oak FC).

With the aid of Paul Sampson and Bob The Bucket, they delve into the question of who's hardest, discuss mavericks and their favourite singalongs.

Bombing On. Together as One.

Background: Royal Oak FC was founded in 1997 in the back room of the Royal Oak pub by Steve Bracknall and Paul Sampson.

Despite decades of effort, the team still fights for survival in the fifth tier of the Sheffield Sunday Imperial League. When a viral clip catapulted Steve to fame in 2024, the BBC came calling - and Game’s Gone was born.
