Episode 60: Blackout kits, long-serving managers & guest Everton fanzine

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray talk Long-Serving Managers, from Guy Roux to Johnny “Codger” Madden via Kenny Dalglish’s window cleaner. There is also chatter about near death experiences while leaving Hartlepool and Swindon’s blackout strip, while Record Breakers brings a lullaby from Leoben. We continue our once-new 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 Tom Moore, editor of Everton fanzine, The Black Watch.

The only way to hear this episode is to sign up for the WSC Supporters’ Club for as little as £2 per month. There are great rewards, including bonus episodes, extended editions, badges, T-shirts and photo prints.
