Episode 52: Stilton Utd v Cheddar FC & MOTD fillers – plus guest 4,000 Holes fanzine

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray binge on Elizabeth Shaw liqueur chocolates and talk Unheralded Derbies, from seldom played clashes to unrequited hate via Stilton United versus Cheddar FC. There is discussion of which activities should fill the gaps in Covid-hit episodes of Match of the Day, including Danny Murphy’s glockenspiel analysis. Record Breakers brings punk from Freiberg, and we continue our nearly 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 the editor of Blackburn Rovers fanzine 4,000 Holes, Scott Sumner.
