Episode 71: Ces Podd salsa, football’s Napoleon & guest Chesterfield podcast

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray take a break from dancing the Ces Podd salsa to discuss Short Managerial Reigns, from the Napoleon of Football’s Elm Park pitstop to Les Miserables of The Valley via a Cowdenbeath burger van. Record Breakers brings a song from Santiago 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 David Garratt from the Chesterfield podcast, Legends of the Spire.

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.
