Episode 50: Rush goalies, Malcolm Allison’s whirl & ampersand derbies – plus guest Nige Tassell

In this exclusive WSC Supporters’ Club edition of the podcast, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray bring old fashioned Bronx Cheer to the topic of Lost Positions and Formations, from the Bristol Rovers Whirl to Malcolm Allison’s Cantabrian Circle via the last of the pocket battleships. Record Breakers brings balladry in Naples, and we launch our brand 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 author and journalist Nige Tassell.
