Paul and Glenn are back for another action packed, fun episode. This week we will discuss The Gold Coast Marathon for this year and then focus on the topic of loyalty in sport by paying tribute to the loyal players, coaches and spectators. Some of who we will discuss include
- A dedicated and loyal basketball coach who has spent most of his adult life playing and coaching for his university and recently retired after coaching the university team after 47 years.
- A Chelsea football legend who spent 19 years at the club winning multiple trophies.
- Aussie Rules legends Bruce Doull, Michael Tuck, Kevin Bartlett and Kade Simpson.
- Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy and Storm legends Cameron Smith and Billy Slater.
- North Sydney bears and St Kilda supporters.
- English fans and Green Bay Packer and Golden State Warrior fans
- MS Dhoni
- Player loyalty during the Super League/ARL war, World Series Cricket/ACB war and the recent LIV Golf and PGA war.
- Jarrod Crocker, Ryan Giggs, Kobe Bryant and Steve Gerard.
- Pat Summit, Paolo Maldini, Brooks Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski.
- Loyal Aussie cricket fan Luke ‘Sparrow’ Gillian.
- Kitty Thorne the 100 year old Bristol Rovers supporter.
Paul and Glenn also have their Claps and Slaps for the week and Glenn has a few more crackin jokes to share. We also have our Quiz and Who am I? and Where are they now? Segments.
