Marley Anderson

Steve McNorton

Born & raised in Liverpool. Seen both the glory days and bad days at the club since the mid 80’s. Loves attacking football and thinks Sam Allardyce is the worst thing to ever happen to the game after Man United, Man City & Everton. It’s fair to say, he’s not interested in your perspective when it comes to the best Goalkeeper in the world and don’t mention VAR to him.

Ian Brannan

Ian is a radio presenter and voiceover artist & Leeds fan and in the past has worked alongside some of the game's biggest names on football phone ins and commentaries. You can imagine his delight at being reassured by Leeds legend and Wembley FA Cup hero Allan Clarke that “it was ok because in his lifetime Leeds will never ever be relegated because they are the great Leeds United.” 2 relegations and 16 years later Leeds are back and Allan is alive and well, although Ian now lives in Sunderland, a city which is still celebrating an FA Cup win in 1973 against Allan’s "great side". On Football Social daily Ian is always ready with a stat, some of which are even accurate, but without doubt you will be surprised by!
