When Saturday Comes

Refusing to bite the ears off a Lindt koala bear, magazine editor Andy Lyons, writer Harry Pearson and host Daniel Gray quite incredibly introduce a brand-new feature: Backward Glance, in which a Random Issue Generator picks out an old copy of WSC magazine from the archives for them to chat about. This time, Issue 103 from September 1995 pops up to spark discussion about Nick Hornby and the Fever Pitch industry, work permit problems, Man Utd in crisis, Bayern snobbery, the Copa America, Don Howe’s monotone commentary and more. Further, magazine Deputy Editor Ffion Thomas previews WSC issue 451 and Record Breakers brings us some Parisian pop.
