2:19Play for England, man. All right, fine. Can I put that down? Is this going to be too far away? It's a stock city, man. Absolutely right. Here we go. This is what it's all about. Come on. Say a bloody club. Man City? Jim Cameron. He did not play for Man City.

2:43This wise game is quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's Friday. It's my biddy art. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Jim Campbell. And I'm Luke Moore.

3:12Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome. It's another edition of My Biddy Art. Oh, can you feel it? That guy, Jim Campbell's on a roll. He beat Pete at My Biddy Art a few weeks back. Then the saucy sod beat me at Jack's Encyclopedia last week. So he's earned the right to face the whole of the Luke Nation. Here we go. We're back. It's been a while, actually. It's been a while, yeah. Not faced off in a while. I got kicked to the curb by Vish. Both my belts taken. And I've been kind of off Fridays for the last few. I don't know why. Licking your wounds. Probably licking some wounds.

3:43But you're back. No, I've actually been going and doing some constituent surgeries with the Luke Nation. Yeah, okay. Talking to the electorate, finding out what they want more from me. And what do they want more of? Well, maybe a win. Yeah. Let's see if we can give them one. Well, there's a chance today. That's exactly what they want in Jim Buck 2. Jim Buck 2, nice. Mighty Buck 3 today because he's won the previous two. A chance for a hat trick. I was going to say a perfect hat trick. But why not? It kind of would be. Why not? Yeah, absolutely. Do you favour Jack's or anybody else? Don't tell him.

4:14It's a mind game. It's a mind game. It's a mind game, man. It's a good question. I think slightly my biddy aren't. So I think I do too. I think I do as well. And Jim mind gamed him right back in his face. Can it be a perfect hat trick when they're all essentially scored with a head? It's true. They're all headers, aren't they? Well, in some countries, maybe that is a perfect hat trick. Right. In Holland, I think a perfect hat trick is just three goals that's not been interrupted by anyone else or half time or something. That's right. That's right. Well, anyway, it's my biddy aren't time. and to prove I'm not bluffing.

4:44Biddy biddy. Now each round I'll name a footballer. One of you will bid how many of that player's clubs you can name. Your opponent can then raise the bid or challenge you to name them. Only professional clubs count and the player must have made a competitive appearance for that team. If you fail to meet your bid then you get a hockey stick beating and your opponent scores. First to three points wins. What's the theme this week? We want to know what the theme is. Overhead kicks. Oh wow. Okay. Could be anyone then. kind of kind of it's not really a theme is it it is according to producer Gerald oh yeah George's theme George's theme once was FA Cup legends yeah and Connor Wickham gear cleaning Connor Wickham the kids of today yeah the kids of today classic right Jim Campbell you are first to open the bidding that's by the way that's against the express wishes of the Luke Nation is that right that Jim goes first okay even though he's had two wins on the bounce so that I'm effectively in the challenger position.

5:43Order! Order! I've been John Burkhardt a few minutes in. I'm not playing because I got beat last week so let me make the most of the chair I'm sitting in. Fair enough. Right, okay. Now, Jim, nine clubs. Okay. Yeah, so a fair few to guess from Christian Benteke. Oh, man. What, can you give the reason he's in here? The theme is overhead kicks. Yeah. So Christian Benteke, The noise you made there was the noise I would have made had I been playing the game today. So I understand your noise. Christian Benteke. Man, this is a tough one. It's a tough start. It is a tough start. Benteke. It is a tough start, yeah.

6:27Can I go for four? Oh, I've definitely got four. I've definitely got four. So Jim's gone four. That's your bid, Jim? Yeah. Okay, we lock that in. Luke Moore. Can I hear more than four? Oh, I've definitely got four. that's annoying and I think Jim probably has got four because he's by nature quite a conservative player and I like to go on my own terms can I hit five yeah I'll go five you go in five yeah Jim it's one that's going to be a guess but I'll go for it you definitely go for it Jim can I have six six is going to be a stretch for old Jim go on so no no okay Marcus six is going to be a stretch for old Jim yeah I wanted him to sounds like a wartime secret agent code or an old music cool song six is gonna be a stretch for old gym he said stretch get in there right okay so Luke Moore five clubs that Christian Benteke played for

7:25let's see if I can end on this Bob here far away I think he played for Genk just get that one out of the way and I'll do the three that I know for sure and then hopefully I'll get up to guess at the end so obviously he played for Liverpool he played for Palace played for Aston Villa one more to get the point for some reason I think he went to the US and I think he might have gone to play for DC United point to lose very good that was an educated guess well played sir I had Genk and the three English clubs and I was thinking I feel like he played for one of the Turkish clubs but I'm not sure which one maybe Antalya Sport no he didn't he played for Standard Liège in Belgium he also played for Courtrick whoever they are Mechelen and he's currently at Al Wada right I don't even got any of those yeah so I mean that was a tough start that is a really tough one yeah indeed you did well to get five I think realistically more than five would have been incredibly impressive but I think five was good it was enough to get you the point Luke you are one nil up we know six would have been a stretch for old Jim so there's no way six is coming in indeed yeah and the reason why he fits the theme of overhead kicks in the 2015-16 season he scored an overhead kick in Liverpool's 3-2 loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford he scored an overhead kick in a loss ten years ago it's a lovely overhead kick though I obviously can't tell you that until the round has finished you simply must know that he now plays for Alwada because he scored an overhead kick in a defeat this game ten years ago Okay.

9:07All right. So one nil to Luke. Round two. Round two. Are we going to hear some groans for this man? Seven clubs. Sebastian Allaire. Give us a groan, old boy. For sake. Seven, you say? Seven clubs. Seven clubs. Sebastian Allaire.

9:30Not an easy one. No. It's not easy, is it? No. I mean, this is a tough one as well. I think a lot of people would have sympathy with you. I'm going to open the bidding with a four. Another four. A four. Let's see if five is a stretch for old Jim. Jim, Luke has gone for four clubs for Sebastian. And if you're interested, Jim, I'm particularly confident about those four. So if that affects your thinking, then... Could be a mind game, though, Jim. It could be a mind game, couldn't it? To earn an honest Bob. For a nosy Parker It's an interesting job I've been naming clubs To earn an honest Bob Jim I'm going to have to push you for a bit here There's a song happening mate It's an interesting job When I'm naming football teams The song has now finished The song has finished So Why not?

10:29I'm going to go for five There'll be some wing in it But we'll see How about that? There's no chance on earth I can do six clubs that Sebastian Allaire has played for. Okay. So we'll let Jim do his five and see if he can make it one a piece. Come on, Jim, this could be a little portent of what's to come at the Etihad, Jim. You know, pushing the boat out. I'm not representing Man City. Oh, you are, you naughty sod. Right, Jim, far away. So you've gone for five clubs that Sebastian Allaire has played for. He played for a Dutch club whose name is famously pronounced as Ajax. It is. Don't let him have it.

11:01It's the correct answer. It's the correct pronunciation. He played for Borussia Dortmund. And he played for producer George's beloved West Ham. Probably why they're in there. Why he's in there. So now I am a little less certain. So you got three out of five. So I got three out of five. Jim, I had those three. Yeah, I'm sure you did. I have a feeling that he played for RB Leipzig earlier in his career, but that one's that I'm not sure about. I just thought of another one. Damn. Point to Luke Moore, I'm afraid. So I had Eintracht Frankfurt he signed to West Ham from. Of course he did and I love Eintracht Frankfurt.

11:36It's bloody nonsense over there. Yeah, it's great fun. The reason I didn't go five is because the fifth club I had was Ozer and I wasn't sure if that was true or not. Where he started. Very impressive. Very good. Who was the sixth? Utrecht. And then the last club he played for was Leganes in Spain. So it's 2-0 to me. So 2-0 to Luke. I mean, they were tough ones to be fair. Tough ones. But look, do you know what, Jim? fair play to you for having a little swing there because he does seem quite like a Leipzig player I kind of get what you mean by that yeah I did it didn't work out but during his time at West Ham I can tell you that he scored an acrobatic equaliser in a one-all draw against Crystal Palace in 2020 which presumably lives long in the memory of West Ham United fans and fair play so it should Connor Wickham's Crystal Palace I met the man once Sebastian Allaire that's why I knew he played for West Ham because I met him at the West Ham training ground Allaire Allaire Allaire This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

16:392-0 to look, Jim. You need this. I do. To a point. It's not going to make a massive difference in my day. I don't get it alright alright

16:51Vishnu's that stick better than you mate yeah right anyway bollocks aside it's 2-0 to Luke Jim your turn

16:59let's have some good bids for this one there shouldn't be any groans for this guy 10 clubs your friend of mine he's at the top of the stairs it's Dion Dublin oh stairs go up to the bedrooms you can't have homes under the hammer yeah the stairs leading up to the tall defensive striker man. So yes, Dion Dublin. Ten clubs for Dion. I'll tell you something. I have met Dion Dublin. A marvellous man. Yeah? Yeah, really nice filler. I'm more talking to Luke. Who's been up first? I'm trying to stall for you, Jim. Oh, right. Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking. Okay. Biddy biddy is what we want to hear pretty soon, Jim Campbell.

17:39I'm actually not doing too well on these. Are you not? Again, it could be a mind game. No, I'm not. Honestly, I would. I'm pretty I'm not that confident but Jim needs to give a number I'm going to go for five five that's exactly what I've got okay I've got five Luke can I hear six from you I've got five for sure I couldn't be more confident about the five I've got I'm going to have to go six aren't I I'm going to have to Jim can I hear seven I think he can do five no I'm not going to go seven you're going to go six Luke Moore for the win I'm going to have to guess one he'll get it right though won't he probably right so here we go bastard is that giving me a clue yeah I fucking hope not because it wasn't meant to so Cambridge United bastard Man United go on Jim do it bastard you've got two you need six you need four more Norwich bastard Leicester City bastard Coventry oh no that's it I haven't got any more come on I can name five that's the five come on what's the sixth one Aston Villa oh no yes yeah I think you just chose the Midlands club yeah I had Villa did you yeah I'm surprised I had all of those by Leicester yeah Villa was one of the obvious ones Villa are a bit of a Sunderland in this game a lot of people have played for Villa a lot of players come through So I'm not surprised you got Villa because he was there for about six years.

19:17I don't really have a huge amount of memory of that. I can't picture him in the kit. Do you remember when he got that horrible injury? Oh, of course. And would he have been at Villa when he headbutted? Robbie Savage. Yeah, it was. It was. Yeah, he was talking about the head at Villa. In the grey matter somewhere. Yeah, so starting at Cambridge United. Barnett on loan. I don't think anybody would have got that. Wickham Wanderers on loan. Manchester United didn't play much, but he did play. Coventry, of course, he was there for a fair few years. Then to Villa. Millwall on loan while he was at Villa Leicester City short stint at Celtic oh okay and then he's finished at Norwich City but it was at Coventry in 1994 where he scored an overhead kick in a 2-0 win against Everton there we go presumably to keep them up who could forget such a feat indeed but goal difference does count in the grand scheme of things so Jim you do have points to play for sure so let's take that spirit into round four Luke you are 3-0 up but again, you want your ratio.

20:12I want the whitewash. There we are, you see. Leads in the message to Vish. Again, there are guesses and bids to be had for this guy. 12 clubs. Andrew Cole. Oh, 12? Yeah. My goodness. My biddy aunt. Biddy biddy. Okay. It's doing well to get these down because there'll be a few. Yeah. Playing without pressure now. Well, you've got up to 12. If you've got 13 names down there, you've gone wrong. I've gone too far. let's have a bit old boy yeah alright give me a second there's 12 to choose from I'm going to write them down you're 3-0 up oh my goodness me alright 6 6 Jim can I hear 7 you can hear 12 oh he's going 12 get on you Jim Jim what are we doing here are you actually going 12 yeah I'm going for 12 good for you mate I love that let's just enjoy the show I'll tell you what this could be if you get this then it's 3-0 if you get this it's James, BT and Christian Vieri all over again.

21:10It's up there. Jim, I love this. This is it. You hear this, Arteta? This is what you've got to do. Can you do all 12? Yeah. Okay, cool. I'm confident with this one. This could be quite simply magnetic. I'll be honest with you. I think if it was me, I think I would be confident with about 10 of them. I'm surprised, actually, you went quite low there, Luke. But you've won the game. You give me time to write down the clubs. But you... Can I hear more than 12? No, I can't, because he's done all 12. All right. Jim Campbell, to name all 12 of Andy Cole's clubs. Now this, I expect this might even be controversial because of the way Wikipedia sometimes lists things, but he made a solitary appearance for Arsenal, so he should count for Arsenal.

21:50So I was, if this was a crucial round, I'd have been really nervous about saying that, so I had it read down. I knew that as well. What did he play for in the League Cup? It's one appearance off the bench in a League Cup game. I was aware of that as well. So it counts, okay, fine. The only other London club he played for was Fulham. That is correct. Very nice. Now, there's an interesting thing about Andy Cole, which is that he played for a lot of sets of rivals. Right. So he played for Newcastle. Andy played for Sunderland. Well played, sir. He played for Man United. Andy played for Man City. Halfway there.

22:23He played for Blackburn Rovers. Andy played for Burnley. Yeah. He also played for Birmingham City. This is good. He played for Bristol City. He played for Nottingham Forest. And he played for Portsmouth. Ladies and gentlemen. come on how'd you know that just by rote that is sensational stuff that I'm surprised you got Pompey yeah because it wasn't massively memorable presumably you had that yeah how long were you there for because I actually don't remember him playing for that a year so why have you got that committed to memory that's incredible just sometimes they stick in my head you know there's certain players where I'll just kind of I don't know just google them sometimes a lot of them the thing with Andy Cole is when you remember that rivals thing a lot of them are just there for you right yeah so I as I say I think I'd have got about 10 Bristol City I may have been a bit hazy on it because he played for Birmingham City and Manchester City I've sort of tagged it in my head like that with him I wouldn't have got Burnley definitely yeah maybe I'd have got I had Burnley I had Blackburn United Newcastle United Arsenal Pompey and Burnley were my six yeah do you know what though if I was playing you there Jim I'd have probably been maybe eight or nine and thinking that should be enough but my goodness Jim Campbell there we go there we are what a play that's a wonderful round not a whitewash not a whitewash but incredibly impressive Jim and of course Andy Cole in the 1999-2000 season scored an overhead kick in the Champions League against Marseille to begin a Manchester United comeback and they went on to win the game 2-1 what a comeback from 1-0 down he did love from Manchester United as European champions at the time he did score a fair few overheads and bicycles and spectacular ones or whatever you want to call them But not for England?

24:06Not for England, no. No, no, no. So, yeah, Jim's to go first in the final round, right? That is correct, Luke. That is correct. I thought it'd be 3-2. That sounds like he was in it at one point. Ah, naughty. So, it's 3-1, Jim to go first. I think this is a lovely one. Some twists and turns and whatnot in there. 14 clubs. 14. We were speaking about him fairly recently. Rivaldo. Ooh. Rivaldo. Blimey. Educated guesses at the ready. Yeah. You know what it's like with Brazilian players. Oh, God. Yeah. Rivaldo. A magnificent player. One who's kind of been a little bit forgotten, I feel. Yeah. As the time's gone on.

24:52I get that. Compared with his ability, for sure. Ronaldinho and the great Ronaldo, of course, we all remember them. But this man, what a player he was. Yeah. 14, you say. I thought that was your bid Jim I was about to say bloody hell I was going to make that joke it's too late if he gets all 14 you'll accept that he goes to a tiebreaker yeah yeah I can't do 14 for Rivaldo I'm having an absolute nightmare I can think of hardly any Jim what's your bid I'll go for 5 5 yeah I can't do 6 name you 5 5 ok so Jim Campbell I'm confident you're going to do this actually Jim but But can you? There's going to be some, probably some leeway on that.

25:36Right, Jim, five clubs for Rivaldo. So he, of course, played for Barcelona. That one, funny enough. And AC Milan. Played for Olympiacos as well. Nice. I'm pretty sure, I hope I've got this name right, that he played for a team called Miri Mogim. Now, were they professional? No, it's Moggy Mirim. I've got that written down. I'm going to give you that, Jim. What? Moggy Mirim. What? If he said he played for Rovers Blackburn, come on, he said the two things. What did he say? What did he actually say? He said Mirimoggi. He said the right two words. I'm giving him that. It may be controversial, but I'll probably get this one wrong anyway.

26:12I had Moggi Mirim. I was really proud of that. I'm going to base this on some of the shirts I have. Atletico Minero. Did he play for Atletico Minero? Don't worry, Luke. You get the point. Did he play for Fluminense or Gremio? No. Okay. My wardrobe would have let me down anyway. The only one I had that you didn't get there was Depo Tivo. Yeah, he did. That's where he first saw. He came there before Barcelona, yeah. Yes, it started at Santa Cruz. Moggy Miram. Corinthians. Palmyra. Jim. I'm always guessing. Actually, Corinthians were the one I'm going to fucking guess first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Depo Tivo La Coruña, that was his move to Europe.

26:51After that, went to Barcelona. AC Milan. Cruzeiro. Olympiacos. Did another stint in Greece. Aiki Athens. Bunyuk Dor. I wouldn't have thought you'd got that one. Sao Paulo on loan, Cabu Skor, and then Sao Keitano, he finished that. So ones you're just never going to get in there. I remember Moggy Miriam because he went back there as a director and like an owner. That's right. We talked about it quite a lot on the show at the time and it always stuck in my mind. Yes, indeed it did. It nearly stuck in my mind, but it didn't matter in the end of it. I think the fact is you said both names correctly.

27:19Well, I said Miri Mogim, which is, you know, all of the syllables were there. Miri Mogim is not the same as Moggy Miriam. Maybe that was generous of me. It doesn't matter in the end of the day. Luke, maybe I'm relieved he didn't get the point. In 2001, of course, he scored an iconic overhead kick for who, Luke Moore? Barcelona. Against? Who was it against again? Chelsea. Valencia. Valencia, that's right. And part of the hat-trick, right? It was an incredible moment. It was a hat-trick he scored. I can't remember if it was a perfect hat-trick or not, but it was an incredibly good hat-trick. Barcelona needed it to clinch Champions League qualification.

27:52Of course, that's right. I believe at Valencia's expense, I might be correctly remembering that. forgive me if not but it was in about the 94th minute he chested it up beautiful absolutely magnificent I was thinking about the Rondinho fun goal against Chelsea where the whole time just stopped for about 5 seconds yeah not an overhead kick and a different player but the day is yours you win 4-1 thank you can you give me that when it is correct I don't need to give you that but the Luke Nation are surely going to be a bit happy with that performance they will it's a return to form the scoreline probably does reflect the result I mean Jim was sensational with Andy Cole.

28:29But you need to be... Something to hang your hat on there, Jim. But you can't put together a part of a performance. It's got to be a full performance. No. When you're playing against a quality opponent. What's annoying for me is that I try and make a note to myself before the game to remember the Scottish clubs. Because quite often you can trip up on that. And I did that. And had I employed that, I think I would have remembered that Dion Dublin played for Celtic. But I didn't use that part of my brain in that question, in that round. so I could have I could have made that 2-1 there and that's my big regret it's not difficult to beat Marcus or Pete that's the takeaway that is the takeaway yeah there we are Marcus is is in some bad form but I think he'll come back he's shown it before he's crying down the phones to the producers on Thursday saying can I please host can I please host it's absolutely it wasn't Thursday it was Wednesday and I'll do it again this afternoon but there we are thank you for listening to the Football Rumble part of the Acast Creator Network We're back on Monday to react to all the weekends.

You had a good run of form, and that Andy Cole round will live long in the memory, I'm very, very sure. What a waste of it. Yeah. From my point of view. Imagine that coming in the decider. That would have been so good.
