Welcome to the first ever episode of Platini Played For Kuwait - the trivial football podcast (and not really a podcast about Michel Platini or Kuwait). Each week Marc and Matt come up with a football-related theme, which they then have to discuss centred around six 'artefacts' of their choosing - players, games, clubs, shirts, goals moments etc. In this first episode, they discuss a topic close to their heart: Welsh footballers who have played abroad (AKA Lost Boyos). Expect to hear tales of the gentle giant in Italy (and how he once managed our hosts' Dad), how Welsh football helped to kickstart 'soccer' in the US and how a Welsh football manager from Caernafon came to be adored in the Netherlands - plus much more.
Matt's Choices:
1. James Lawrence
2. John Charles
3. Barry Hughes
Marc's Choices:
1. Howard Passadoro
2. Rush-Saunders-Hughes and their European travels
3. The Welsh impact on the NASL
