Episode 85: Fixture pile-ups, Sean Dyche’s bucket hat & guest Jen Offord

Turning off into the great service station of life, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss hectic schedules and season ends from Canvey Island chaos to Alvechurch versus Oxford City and the activation of Nigel Davey. Magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 433, Record Breakers brings us a Tbilisi tune, 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 Jen Offord, author of The Year of the Robin: Watching It All Go Wrong for Charlton Athletic and the World.
