Box2Box Episode 500, with Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley!
Australian football legend John Kosmina was our inaugural guest in 2015, and returns to reflect on the decade that’s been for the A-League & Socceroos, in both of which he left a significant legacy.
The Sports Ambassador Podcast’s Tracey Holmes has consistently proven the point of reason when it comes to football administration over the show’s decade, and now casts an eye towards next year’s World Cup.
Martin Tyler, the voice who has soundtracked each episode, also returns to reflect on some of his finest commentary that has stood the test of time.
Finally, a fond farewell from Derek Dyson, who has made an immense contribution to the show, calling out administrators, Spurs fans, and lamenting the near misses of his beloved Gunners, over the past six years.

The next stop on Wrexham’s Hollywood roadshow is Australia and New Zealand, with three friendlies against A-League opposition booked from mid-July.. Not a global powerhouse, but certainly a novelty of interest to many; The BBC’s Dafydd Pritchard runs the rule over what to expect from a club that has ridden a steep incline..
