Quickly Kevin, Will He Score? is a nostalgia podcast based around association football in the 1990s. Guests have included former professional footballers, comedians, and sports television presenters.^[1]

Hosted by Josh Widdicombe with friends Michael Marden (a TV editor who has worked on programmes such as Would I Lie to You?) and Chris Scull, the podcast name derives from the commentary heard in Britain during the penalty shoot out between England and Argentina at the 1998 FIFA World Cup when Brian Moore asked Kevin Keegan how David Batty would fare with a decisive penalty, which Batty then subsequently missed (although the actual dialogue, which is used in the opening credits, is "Do you back him to score. Quickly: yes or no?").^[2][3]

The show was nominated for Best Sports Podcast at the 2018 British Podcast Awards,^[4] for which it received a bronze award.^[5] It was previously nominated for best sports podcast at the 2017 Football Supporters Federation Awards.^[6]

The show finished in May 2024 after a sold-out show at the London Palladium and 14 series in seven years.^[7]
