Downing a 50p Baileys and accepting a crowd plea to “Get involved”, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray talk Terrible Teammates, from Len Shackleton to Millwall Russians via the man who showed them all. Magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 434, Record Breakers brings us a Jamaican jingle, and we continue our sprightly feature The Final Third, in which a guest contributes a match, a player and an object to the WSC Museum of Football. Joining Dan as our visiting curator this time is Michael Walker, football writer with The Athletic and the Irish Times, and author of the excellent Up There: The North East Football Boom & Bust and Green Shoots: Irish Football Histories.
