Sniffing scented satins to pass the time until the new season, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray continue with new-ish feature Backward Glance, in which a Random Issue Generator picks out an old copy of WSC magazine from the archives for them to chat about. This time, Issue 351 from May 2016 pops up to spark discussion of yet more Super League plans, Tannoy mishaps, Wolstenholme on Wolves, Barca’s Cambridge United inspiration and much more. Magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 455, Record Breakers brings us a Selhurst sizzler 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 Kevin Toms, creator of the original Football Manager computer game in 1982.
