Supping sarsaparilla from a dirty glass, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray think outside the bin cupboard to talk Alternative World Cups from the CONIFA to the Island Games via the Mundiavocat. WSC Deputy Editor Tom Hocking talks us through the pages of magazine edition 416, including Maoist reform of the Premier League, refereeing crises and a trip to Arbroath. Record Breakers brings rabble-rousing from Rotterdam, and we continue our almost brand new 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 WSC writer, Cameron Carter.
In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray bring old fashioned Bronx Cheer to the topic of Lost Positions and Formations, from the Bristol Rovers Whirl to Malcolm Allison’s Cantabrian Circle via the last of the pocket battleships. Record Breakers brings balladry in Naples, and we launch our brand new 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 author and journalist Nige Tassell.
