About the show

By Far The Greatest Team is the football history podcast asking one simple question: How Great Were They? Hosted by lifelong football obsessives Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn, each episode explores the teams, players, managers and moments that shaped football history — then debates where they truly belong in the game’s hierarchy. From iconic dynasties and legendary tournament winners to cult heroes, forgotten giants, tactical revolutions and teams that burned brightly for just a moment, By Far The Greatest Team dives deep into the stories behind football greatness. At the heart of the podcast is the Greatness Index: a unique ranking system that judges teams across multiple levels, from All-Time Greats and True Greats to teams remembered through nostalgia, context, controversy or sheer love. Greatness isn’t just about trophies. It’s about impact, identity, influence, legacy, style, story and the way a team lives on in football memory. Whether it’s Brazil’s brilliance, a one-season wonder, a cup-run miracle, a World Cup underdog or a side that changed how football was played, every episode asks: How great were they… really? If you love football history, tactical debate, long-forgotten stories, football nostalgia, classic teams, iconic managers, legendary players, World Cup history, European football and arguing about rankings in pubs, living rooms or online forums — this is the podcast for you. Football history. Great teams. Great stories. One simple question: How Great Were They?
