In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray talk unlucky footballers, classic team line-ups and local derby miscellany. They also discuss half-time entertainment from crowd-invading police Alsatians to inflatable sumo wrestlers and a despised garden shed, strange shirt sponsors and annoying football TV innovations of the 1990s. Meanwhile, Record Breakers takes us to Perugia, Sicily and Blackburn. Expect Billy Cock hats, Flamingo Land and Vic Mobley.

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.
