EVERY DAY I DREAM ABOUT SUBBUTEO by Edidas20 on SoundCloud

A podcast from EDIDAS.

“Flickers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your PlayStations”

Like most men born in the 50s and 60s, Steve, Pete and Chris loved playing Subbuteo in their childhood.

Then girls, music and being cool got in the way.

Having failed at all three; in their mid thirties and unemployed – Steve, Pete and Chris rediscovered their love of ‘the beautiful game’.

Twenty years later, real life has got in the way again and this is their story.

Who featured in their fantasy teams; what was the drug rule; what the bloody hell is a ‘POA’ and just what is ‘The Beautiful Leg’?

The answers to all of these questions and much, much more can be found in the four part podcast EVERY DAY I DREAM ABOUT SUBBUTEO.

If you can imagine a Woman’s Hour ‘special’ on Spinal Tap you’re halfway there.

EDIDAS – what does it mean?

EDIDAS stands for Every Day I Dream About Subbuteo.

Steve, Pete and Chris had been playing Subbuteo for about 3 years when they met James. A few years their junior, he had a passion and zeal for the madness they’d created.

During a night of madness, James came up with the daft idea that ADIDAS might be interested in sponsoring their Subbuteo league.

Although James’ pipe dream would never come true, they decided to vote in a pretend sponsor instead to mimick the newly formed Barclays Premier League.

After several hours of discussion, James came up with the genius idea of EDIDAS. Because they all loved playing Subbuteo!

Over the next 15 years James won everything.

The EDIDAS story will make you laugh and cry. And probably wonder what the bloody hell they’re on about.

Here, you’ll find videos, photos, archive material and best of all, a four part ‘reality’ podcast called ‘Every Day I Dream About Subbuteo’.

Now your appetite has been ‘whetted’….look out for the full EDIDAS story in the four part reality podcast ‘Every Day I Dream About Subbuteo’
