[@benjaminmulvaney793]

Brilliant watch! Don’t make them like that anymore, grew up hating him as a Forest lad but would love him for us right now! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@kevob]

I dont remember him, based on his stories he seems like a poor mans Dennis Wise.

[@paulmortimer4161]

Funniest footballer for story's I've heard in ages. Deserves his own show does birch

[@lart4933]

This episode didn’t feel like a podcast more like a chat in a pub what a great storyteller

[@graemeyetts3465]

Great fun.As a Southend fan,nice to hear of NEIL HARRIS &MARK BEARD.

[@johnmcgeady1205]

This guy's different class! Best yet.

Good to be back.

[@lukedeanford]

Part 2? Also any chance of a Lee Trundle podcast he must of lived the lower league life 😂😂

[@thomascave3619]

i love marc bircham xx

[@mikelitorous5570]

The Witch Doctor player was definitely Pascal Chimbonda

[@ryuhayabaker]

Diakite, i reckon.

[@VillaBoys123]

One of the ones where I am sure 90% of the stories have been given legs but enjoyable non the less

[@ryancurtis413]

Just finished it, well funny but def thought that the whole way through but who cares? Just Googled it and he was an unused sub against a Brazil team with Lucio, Sonny Anderson and Dida. Even so, fair play!

[@canuuuuuunot]

Here lads, he's mentioned on this pod but you need to get him on. Kev Gallen. Basically became a host on the Magic Sponge pod towards its end and I could listen to his stories all day

[@steevie8001]

Agreed!!!

[@badderman1]

Loved bircham at QPR

[@johnbond5567]

Brilliant

[@rockybalboa8543]

This one is up there, but Andy Johnson will take some beating. Think you need to get johno back.

[@aslannouveau]

I agree! That Andy Johnson podcast might be one of the greatest podcasts ever made. It would be good to have a bunch of thoe lads together for a podcast. Get Johnson, Taylor, Armstrong and Dean Saunders on there.

[@rockybalboa8543]

@@aslannouveau Andy Johnson is crazy (in a good way) yeah why not have group podcast. I love them, some great stories.

[@aslannouveau]

​@@rockybalboa8543 I think the group chat is a MASSIVE oversight by the podcasters. The Magic Sponge should have done it with the Arsenal youth team when they had that run of Stack and Noble and Reservoir Red Dogs SHOULD have done it when they got Tank etc.....but Undr the Cosh would crush it if they had a panel of Johnson, Norm, Rodgers, Paul Hart, Geoff Thomas, could you imagine that Miami Boat story with all perspectives, it would be hilarious. Film it, broadcast it on Dave, it would be a sure fire winner.

[@joshforde698]

One of the very early ones (not on KZbin) with Tony Warner is one you have to listen to if you haven't already, some cracking stories.

[@aslannouveau]

@@joshforde698 I heard Tony Warners 'Devil Fish' podcast with the Magic Sponge boys but didn't know he had done one with Undr the Cosh. Thanks for the heads up!

[@shaneking3600]

No sub keeper 'The dark arts' had me rolling 😂😂😂

[@wawawswfc4957]

Quality as per ....

[@JNO1972]

What he said about hating Liverpool and John Barnes was bang on. Nothing racial he was just to good. My school in west London was full of Liverpool fans.

[@1989tasmith]

🇧🇸 go on the Bahamas, mums a Bahamian from Nassau and I have a sweet left foot, don’t hesitate to get in touch Marc mate 👍🏽

[@SaudiGod]

your left foot is shit

[@stevenmorton6686]

Good episode this haha

[@SuperDry.]

1:02:10 🤣😂 lol when his leg popped up demonstrating 🤣

[@stehowlett8112]

Fantastic that 😂

[@bensudbury3877]

Up there with Andy Johnson and Gary Roberts.

[@kiecway]

Quality stuff again 👌😂

[@LFC-KAMZ]

‘Lessons in the dark arts’ lmao. Best footy channel on KZbin.

[@redzzder7951]

Marc is a great storyteller 😂

[@user-uw1qn1et1u]

Get Frank McAvennie on lads 😉

[@lewismorgan320]

Brownys laugh is legendary 🤣

[@rockybalboa8543]

Always like bircham, wanted forest to sign him at one point. Comes across very well.

[@stapes2243]

What a fucking laugh that was 💯 Put part 2 out tomorrow! Please don’t let us wait a week for fuck sake 😂

[@joelmichaels371]

Hes got to have had a blast. Didnt stop for air. Great though

I went to the ibiza cup in 04 watching Wednesday, Preston and Watford were there then.

Im 50, loved football, played football, hated football...you read the papers and think wanker. Im a blade, hes funnny as fuck, another good episode.

[@WINKS50]

This guy should be on the stage at the O2

[@leewilliams3135]

Seems like a great lad

[@simonwright3060]

2k a week pay cut to play for QPR in league One instead of going to Birmingham City in PL , crazy

[@childrenoftheash874]

Funny as fook!!!!!

[@MrIkon83]

I don't have a clue who this bloke is but he is hilarious. There's no curfew !!!

[@Mick_On_The_Moor]

A night on the piss with Marc Bircham would be class 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@martinharvey2390]

There's probably a good chance I might have refereed Marc when he was playing in Millwall's youth team. I used to referee on the S E Counties League and got Millwall quite often.
