"Don't worry lads, we'll p!ss it!"
There's fireworks in the air in this special edition of the cast when we welcome club legends of the amateur days Hugh Lyndsay and Charlie Townsend into the infamous Captains Lounge for a good old natter about the 60's.
Part 1 00:00
The Athenian League years were halcyon days for the club and the chaps wax lyrical about them, in particular '66. Let's not mention someone literally smashing the FA Amateur Cup, or the fallout with Kingstonian for allegedly poaching their best player but nobody can forget that Stevenage game surely? Also how many players can claim to have represented England, and also have played against them too?
Part 2 43:30
Then there's representing Great Britain in the Olympics on numerous occasions, Sir Stanley Rous stitching up our heroes chances of qualification, and how certain countries managed to get away with fielding professionals in their sides. Also there memoires of the brutal side of the game during that period. It was no place for shrinking violets!
Part 3 1:10:25
It's the end of an era as the amateur game dissolves into semi-professionalism and that great 60's side begins to break up. Hughie goes to Hampton and ends up in all sorts of fun and games with Alan Simpson.
It's a smashing episode about bygone days with two gentlemen with incredible memories. Tim let's them off the leash with Mick being on hand to correct his historical inaccuracies.
