Episode 75: Kevin Brock’s backpass, Gosforth Bohemians & guest Nick Quantrill

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss Players Who Are Famous For Only One Thing, from Violence of the Tongue to Josimar’s big impression via a Kevin Brock backpass. Record Breakers brings us a Dutch Danny Boy, 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 ace novelist, WSC contributor and one part of the team behind the North Ferriby fanzine View From the Allotment End, Nick Quantrill.

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.
