VAR. XG. Inverted wing backs. The game has well and truly gone.

Via his very own podcast, Steve Bracknall, Sunday league
assistant manager and viral sensation, is going to bring it back.

Direct from the dressing room of his team Royal Oak FC, he'll be
joined by gaffer Paul Sampson and physio Bob the Bucket. Every
Thursday they'll make sense of all of the week’s footballing news
and bring you updates from the Oak...

In the first episode we'll chat about the international break,
Firestick Dean (who is not in any way connected with Royal Oak
FC), and death row meals.

Marching on, together as one. Steve.

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.

Hosts of the podcast:

Steve Bracknall Assistant manager at Royal Oak FC, Steve
Bracknall is to many the lifeblood of the club. Having agreed to
front the club in terms of marketing and PR, Steve is the link
between the fans and the club. No one cares about the Oak like
Steve. Loving husband to Our Nikki and doting father to Our
Olivia, come Sunday Steve is transformed into passionate
assistant who would literally die for the cause. He cites man
management as his strong point.

Paul Sampson First team manager and lifelong friend of Steve
Bracknall. Paul originally formed the club with Steve. In recent
years his commitment to the club has come under scrutiny
especially after buying a time share in Tenerife and going on
multiple golfing trips mid-season leaving Steve to hold the fort.
He still has the final say over any tactical decisions that are
made much to the annoyance of Steve.

Bob the Bucket Club physio and general caretaker Bob the Bucket
has been with the club for over ten years. No one really knows
why and when he joined but he did. General job roles include
putting up nets, filling water bottles alongside prevention and
rehab of all Oak players.
