    E100 - Disastrous centenaries, Swindon's late century and the 100-cap Malaysia quartet

    Beyond cock-a-hoop at reaching podcast 100, in this special centenary episode (i.e. there’s no guest, just a bit more of them talking) magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss issue 100 of WSC magazine, published in June 1995. There is also chatter of some things 100, from the Mercantile Credit Centenary Trophy to Swindon Town’s record breakers via Malaysia’s Golden Quartet. Magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 441 and Record Breakers brings us a Polish pop pick.

Norwich City nesting dolls in Prague

Hi, thank you so much for putting me on the lookout for football nesting dolls in Prague. I am actually a Norwich City fan and can confirm with hey are still sold there, as I bought one just a few weeks ago.

Love how your podcast makes me feel like I’m just sitting down for a chat with y’all. Glad to have found this!

Enjoyable

Such an enjoyable complement to the great magazine . Great to listen to out walking and like being in a pub talking about football , macaroni pies , and all the stuff we’re missing. Geordie Steve review below summed it up better than me 👍🏻⚽️😀
