Having taken the summer off, we are back with another of our trips down green-and-white memory lane and our guest for this episode only spent at single season at Huish Park but is still remembered fondly by Yeovil Town supporters. Having joined in the club at the start of its first season in the Football League, Jake Edwards was a key part of Gary Johnson's side which had a good tilt at the League Two play-offs and made the FA Cup third round to boot. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Football is finally back and with it blue skies and renewed optimism in Cleethorpes! The Mariners ran out comfortable 3-0 winners on opening day with a dominant display over newly relegated Crawley.

In part two, the guys are joined by Harrogate fan Neil Hirst who helps them preview the Mariners trip to North Yorkshire next weekend, just four months after that famous Kieran Green goal stole the headlines in the same fixture at the back end of last season.

In another of the podcast's #BigInterviews, former Newport County skipper and marauding midfielder Joss Labadie sat down with Ian and Jamie for a look back on his time at Rodney Parade. From the Great Escape and injuries, to cup runs and playoff finals, Joss opened up on that five-year period where he experienced everything there is to experience as a League Two captain.We're really grateful to Joss for his time, and for his honesty and candidness. The chat offers a fabulous insight into the inner workings of a football team. How do you manage contract negotiations when you're out with an ACL injury? Just HOW difficult is it to play Premier League opposition? How do you manage egos and cocky youngsters coming in from youth academies?Joss also shared intel on how footballers set themselves up for post-retirement, particularly when coaching and punditry are not options. From covering every blade of grass to covering yourself for the worst, we hear about how Labs has teamed up with former teammates in the insurance game.
