Episode 79: Scotland’s World Cup refusal, Infantino at The Den & guest Carlisle United podcast

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray consider the topic What Were They Thinking?, from Scotland’s 1950 World Cup qualification calamity to Richard Dinnis of St James’ Park via the Roy Hodgson/Sammy Lee evolution chart. Record Breakers brings us a Leicester lullaby, 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 Dan MacLennan of Carlisle United podcast The Brunton Bugle.

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.
