Charlotte Edwards | Cricket Royalty
1w ago00:20:20Tap to summarizeCharlotte Edwards is, quite simply, cricket royalty — and yes, that's even what it says on Wikipedia.Twenty-three years. 309 ODIs. A captain who didn't just lead England Women — she helped drag the entire sport into the light.But before all of that, she was a girl on a potato farm in Huntingdon, the only female face in a boys' team, walking out to the crease every weekend knowing half the crowd didn't want her there.In this episode, Charlotte talks about growing up in a sport that wasn't built for her, the revolution that's transformed women's cricket — and the foundation she's set up to make sure the next generation never has to fight the same battles she did.
Transcribe →Schmeichel's Giant Gloves, Leicester's Miracle and the Crisp Packet Shirt — Cult Kits x BUDDS Part 2
2w ago00:07:53Tap to summarizeIn Part 1, David Convery and Will Franklin sat down with Cult Kits to walk through the Tony Heywood collection — nearly 50 lots built across a lifetime inside Manchester United. In Part 2, the conversation shifts. The Heywood lots are packed away and now it's Cult Kits' turn. David Furzer-Jones and Robert Kocur pull out the pieces that get them excited — a pair of oversized Schmeichel goalkeeper gloves that nobody can quite believe exist, a match-worn Leicester City shirt still carrying mud from the season that rewrote the Premier League, a long-sleeved 1988 Netherlands shirt in condition that shouldn't be possible, and the Cantona-era United shirt everyone calls the crisp packet. This is where collectors talk shop.
Transcribe →The Man Who Spent 47 Years in Manchester United's Dressing Room — The Cult Kits Series: The Tony Heywood Collection
Apr 1700:22:12Tap to summarizeDavid and Will from BUDDS sit down with David Jones and Robert Kocur — the founders of Cult Kits, the UK's leading vintage football shirt specialists — to walk through one of the most remarkable private collections to come to auction in years.The collection belongs to Tony Heywood, who spent 47 years at Manchester United, starting as a dressing room cleaner straight from school and eventually becoming trusted enough to be considered part of the inner circle.Over nearly five decades of loyalty, players — from Cantona to Ronaldo — gifted him shirts, boots, and kit that he carefully kept. Now retired, Tony is bringing the collection to market for the first time.From a Kanchelskis Coca-Cola Cup final shirt to Eric Cantona's last-ever match shirt at Old Trafford; from a pair of gold Cristiano Ronaldo boots worn two full sizes too small (and customised with metal studs) to a second pair with "CR7" scratched into the sole long before it was a global brand — this is the story of how one man's lifelong dedication to a football club became an extraordinary archive of the game's greatest era. The collection goes under the hammer at BUDDS on 28th April 2026.This collection is part of the Made In Manchester Live Auction — 28th April 2026.
