The Rest Is Football, a popular sports podcast, has recently launched an exciting new series titled "Premier League Greats: The Moments That Made Them". This series is set to showcase Premier League archive footage, providing fans with a unique and immersive experience.
In a significant development, the Goalhanger podcast has secured rights to the competition's video archive. This acquisition allows them to display action from every game since its inception in 1992 until the end of last season in May 2025.
Weekly release of Premier League greats
Premier League Greats will be released every Wednesday until the end of the current campaign. Each episode promises an engaging journey through five matches that defined a Premier League legend's career.
Hosted by Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, each episode will break down why each fixture was so crucial while sharing personal stories and first-hand insight from their own time spent with these legendary players.
For the first time ever on Spotify Video or YouTube and across The Rest Is Football social channels, viewers can watch match footage as those moments are discussed on screen. Audio listeners will continue receiving full episodes as usual. The series aims at enhancing viewer engagement by releasing episodes in tandem with regular Rest Is Football episodes.
Showcasing legends of Premiere Leagues
The inaugural episode features Arsenal legend Thierry Henry while future shows promise insights into other football greats like David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Eden Hazard, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
This initiative isn't new territory for The Rest is Football; they have previously covered highlights from Club World Cup last summer along with launching a LaLiga highlights show earlier this season. They also plan to produce a daily show from men’s World Cup later this year which will be available to watch on Netflix.
The Rest Is Football's new series, Premier League Greats: The Moments That Made Them, is a must-watch for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts. It offers an unprecedented opportunity to relive the defining moments of Premier League legends' careers through the lens of those who have lived it. This series promises not just entertainment but also a deep dive into football history, making it an invaluable resource for all football aficionados.
