Our Team

Football Pilgrims line up in a classic 4-4-2, with two strikers leading the charge: Richard Popple and Toby Peach. They're the architects of every Pilgrimage, the ones who've walked these streets countless times, uncovering the stories that others have forgotten and weaving them into experiences that stay with you long after the final whistle. Behind them sits a core cohort of talented freelancers—the midfield maestros and defensive stalwarts who provide the creativity, technical skill, and dedication that turn ambitious ideas into legendary journeys. Together, this squad doesn't just create walking tours—they craft pilgrimages that honor the history, passion, and soul of the clubs we all love.
