In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray take their grief at poor Lionel Messi’s fate to discuss One Last Big Pay Days from Suleyman Kerimov’s FC Anzhi to Roberto Rivelino in Saudi Arabia. The Random Topic Generator throws up “Rumours” as a talking point, meaning conversational trips to Throckley petrol station, Mother Shipton’s Cave and the murky world of testimonial matches. Record Breakers takes us to Oslo, Stockholm and Bristol.
