Jimmy Bullard joins John Fendley to launch new podcast

Former Premier League player Jimmy Bullard has reunited with broadcasting legend John Fendley, aka Fenners, to launch FC Bullard.

The new podcast, produced by Crowd Sports, will see the pair building a football club from scratch. At the moment they’ve got nothing – no kit, no stadium, no badge and no players!

Each week they work out what they need at FC Bullard. There’ll be big names, there’ll be grassroot heroes. Sometimes it’s just the two of them chatting nonsense.

It’s a big thing for Soccer AM fans because Saturday mornings haven’t been the same since Jimmy and Fenners signed off for the final time. But now, the double act is back together, with something different to the standard football podcast.

FC Bullard President Jimmy Bullard says: “I’ve always wanted to own a football club and doing it in podcast form makes perfect sense. It’s going to be a lot of fun and we can’t wait for our listeners to get involved and help us out along the way.

 “We want FC Bullard fans to be the biggest supporter’s group around. That’s what makes a hit sports podcast, loyal supporters and great content. This ain’t going to be your usual football club. We’ve seen that Crowd Network are the experts at bringing these things together with a lot of fun along the way.”

 FC Bullard Director of Football John Fendley added: “It’s great to be back working with Jimmy and this project is right up our street. It’s a really good way to talk about our love of the game, speak to interesting guests from all aspects of football culture – which we all love.

“We can’t wait to get started – we’ve got a kit to design, managers to interview and players to scout.

 “As self-appointed Director of Football I am looking forward to watching us grow. It’s going to be an exciting journey from where we are now – which is basically nothing – to one day becoming the biggest club on the planet. Why not?”

FC Bullard launches today, 16 April on all podcast platforms.
