Episode 15: Wolfgang Wolf of Wolfsburg and Jack Charlton, shopkeeper

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss nominative determinism from Wolfgang Wolf of Wolfsburg to Notts County’s Harry Daft. There is also talk of the unexpected birthplaces of some footballers, and a conversation about football annuals and almanacs including Len Badger, Rothmans and Jack Charlton, shopkeeper. Record Breakers takes us to Munich, Stockholm and Skegness, and into the world of Ray Clemence’s Soccer Clocks.

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.
