Episode 28: Orange balls and ice skating with Jimmy Armfield

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss old football possessions, Christmas presents related to the game and matches in snow and fog, from orange balls to the Filbert Street polysphere. Dan’s dubious views on the efficiency of household glue are questioned, and the Random Topic Generator throws up the subject of One Hit Wonder players including Cup Tie McKay and Tim Buzaglo. Record Breakers takes us to Udine, Reims and Norwich.

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.
