"And Smith Must Score!"
The FA Cup podcast that celebrates the highs and lows of the greatest club competition on planet earth between 1980 & 2000. Hosted by Stig Ammonds, Michael Channon & Marvyn Dickinson, three forty something tragic Cup connoisseurs, "And Smith Must Score!" allows the lads to ponder over what to them at least was the last period of true Cup fever. They focus on the joy, the elation and yes, the heartaches that the Cup led to - that moment when for many, it seemed that the world had ended as they slumped to and then sobbed upon the famously strength sapping Wembley turf. Enduring image isn't it? Marvellous.
