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.
