Toon superfan Raul Kohli on his favourite Newcastle matches

When Football Began Again - The Premier League Years podcast

Host Carl Jones is joined by comedian, actor, writer and huge Newcastle United fan Raul Kohli, to share the matches he'd take with him to a desert island.

Recorded in May 2023 as the Toon were about to book their long-awaited return to the Champions League, Raul speaks passionately about what that will mean to his home city, the young fans within it and also himself personally.

We also chat about his feelings for Sunderland (spoiler: not wholly positive), the Newcastle managers he'll never forget and why he believes Eddie Howe is on course to surpass them all. We also find out why the Carabao Cup final was the greatest weekend of his life to date, despite defeat to Manchester United, and I ask Raul to help me select the greatest Belgian to ever play in the Premier League. Despite his protests, it wasn't Philippe Albert...
