Whether you are a Motherwell fan or not, this is a podcast to enjoy as we hear from the memories of a commentator, two fans and an ex-player as a town in the doldrums got a huge lift from their local side going all the way to win the Scottish Cup in one of the greatest Finals ever. *Audio from the Final is courtesy of @ScottishFA* Tweet us @sffpodcast Instagram - sffpodcast Facebook - Scottish Football Forums Email - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com
