FA Cup 2nd Round Preview - THE CHANNON & BALL SHOW Artwork

"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.

FA Cup 2nd Round Preview - THE CHANNON & BALL SHOW

December 02, 2021 • Stig Ammonds, Michael Channon & Marvyn Dickinson • Season 2 • Episode 5

Former Forest Green Rovers (Interim) Manager Jimmy Ball chats with the non league injury prone Michael Channon about his career in football and his hopes for the future as a manager.

Luckily we're talking about Jimmy's career and not Michael's which ended at Buxton in 2000, just by the penalty box at the end at the bottom of the slope (it's mentioned in this episode).

In addition, he (Jimmy) shares his thoughts about the upcoming Round 2 fixtures of the Greatest Cup Competition in the world in company with Ipswich Town's very own Stuart Hayton.

Michael doesn't even know what leagues the teams are in.

Stig & Marv couldn't be contractually arsed this week but 'We Go Again' (Fist Bump Emoji).

Much Love,

Stig, Mick & Marv
