E106 - Tunnelling into the Olympics, hyphenated fixtures & guest Rob White

When Saturday Comes

While their Lamington Cake bakes in the oven, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray discuss Olympic Football from ‘Krølben’ Nielsen’s magnificently talented bandy legs to fearsome Willie Hastie via Hitler’s first match. Magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 445, Record Breakers brings us a Red Star romp, 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 Rob White, son of former Spurs star John and co-author of the book about him, The Ghost of White Hart Lane – now a play at the Edinburgh Fringe.
