Episode 72: One-off champions, Lucerne lullaby & guest John Nicholson

Filing through their multi-tier in-tray for nothing in particular, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss One-Off Champions, from Riva’s Cagliari to West Bromwich via Betis Balompié. WSC Deputy Editor Tom Hocking talks us through the pages of magazine issue 426, Record Breakers brings a lullaby from Lucerne, 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 football writer and novelist, John Nicholson.
