Episode 88: Too small to sign, Neymar’s fridge & guest Southend United fanzine

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss Scouts and Scouting, from Joe Royle’s Michael Owen mishap to Ralph Coates’ scrape over. Record Breakers brings Brazilian beats from Jairzinho, 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 Ed Beavan from the Southend United fanzine, All at Sea.

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.
