  • Seasons in the Sun: West Brom 1930/31
    May 1 2024
    It’s football’s greatest achievement that you’ve probably never heard of. In 1930/31, West Bromwich Albion won promotion from the Second Division and, if that wasn’t enough, they won the FA Cup as well. It was the first time that double had ever been done, it hasn’t been done since, and I think we can safely wager the TFT family silver on it never being done again.

    We’re joined by members of Albion’s extended royal family, Paul and Ben Wood, who are, respectively, grandson and great-grandson of Stan Wood, the Throstles’ left winger who played a huge part in that season, playing 50 games and scoring 17 goals as his side won a unique double.

    Our epic trawls through the 1970s and 80s are finally at an end, so in one final effort to keep the franchise going, Steven Scragg and Dave Bowler meet to debate the merits and otherwise of the two decades. Alex Ireland bravely takes on the Jack Taylor/Keith Hackett role. Maggie Thatcher, you took one hell of a beating.

  • A decade of 80s football: sins and omissions
    Apr 24 2024
    In the decade that will never die, the 1980s team reunite one last time (probably) for a bit of whataboutery? Some listeners have pointed out a few of the stones that were left unturned in the course of the series, so everyone has reconvened to debate Aberdeen, Chelsea, the legendary summit between Keith Burkinshaw and César Luis Menotti. Thoughts eventually turn, of course, to Peter Hucker, Gary Bailey and Mirandinha.
