Episode 36: Greed, hubris and the Brunton Park Butterfly World

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray find a peeved Random Topic Generator urging them to talk about Greed and then Monstrous Hubris. Resulting subjects include the bungled folly of the recent Super League plot, the murky world of closed-shop divisions, wacky penalties, George Reynolds and Harry Kewell’s marble fittings, and new stadium follies from Brunton Park Butterfly World to John Hall’s Leazes dream. Record Breakers takes us to Kaiserslautern, Kinshasa and Moscow.

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.

Indeed, preceding the set-up of the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern and Hannover met in the 1954 national final, the rank outsiders from the north thumping their more illustrious opponents 5-1.
