In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss all things autographs, from tetchy players to the New York Fred Trueman. There is talk of new Pelés, new Maradonas and the Latvian Michael Owen, plus a sensual Wolverhampton Wanderers press release and Peter Marinello’s pseudo up-market interior. Record Breakers takes us to Corsica, Bern and Nottingham and provokes a comprehensive chat about footballers in spectacles.
Fans of Brentford, Boston United and York City didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to their beloved grounds – but at least they were spared the hollow choreography of a closing ceremony
Battling on despite the halt of Wagon Wheel production due to industrial action, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss club mergers from Thames Valley Royals to Manstock County.

Plus, international retirements and refusals and football grounds built into mountains.
