Putting to one side thoughts of scraping together £229 for a personalised message from Peter Shilton, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss footballers’ food from problematic condiments to Dino “Five Eggs” Zoff. There is a delve inside the pages of WSC magazine issue 403 including the demise of black boots and great tea bar names of the non-League, Record Breakers takes us to Prague, Turin and South Norwood and Ian Rands from the Four Blades in the Pub podcast talks to Dan about all things Sheffield United.
Host Daniel Gray interviews comedian, TV presenter, WSC contributor and Plymouth Argyle fan Josh Widdicombe. The two discuss Ceefax hacks and all things Argyle, from a centre-forward who played with a cigarette on his ear to Peter Shilton, double relegation and Tommy Tynan’s Uber strife. Plus, 1990s kit makes from Ribero to Super League, Hans Segers’ tie range, football comedy and the wonders of club nicknames. And finally: dog bites man at Plainmoor, Roger Freestone Championship Manager legend and the time Jimmy Case sold Dan a biro.
