Episode 74: World Cup one-offs, Kuwait’s loveliest camel & guest Jack Spring

Avoiding heavy cake falling from the heavens, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss teams who have only appeared at one World Cup, from East Germany to the Dutch East Indies via Kuwait’s loveliest camel and the Uruguay loophole. Record Breakers brings a desert disc, 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 film director and Grimsby Town fan Jack Spring, whose new feature, Three Day Millionaire, is out now.

If you enjoyed this and would like more, you can sign up to 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.
