Episode notes

There are some over the years who have criticised the FA cup for not being the competition it once was. Weakened teams, lesser crowds and altogether not the competition it was apparently, yet last weekend’s third round was an absolute belter! Huge goals, huge shocks and some magnificent performances from lower league teams to knock out top flight opposition. Mark Clemmit catches up with the man who grabbed all of the headlines, Cambridge United’s Joe Ironside, who’s goal despatched one of the world’s richest clubs, Newcastle United.

Elsewhere, Huddersfield Town’s league and cup form has been impressive of late and Clem speaks to their 29 year old Liverpool born keeper Lee Nicholls, to find out what it is that has just clicked under Carlos Corberan, and sticking with the theme of good management, Micky Mellon shares some of his leadership skills, that have seen his Tranmere Rovers side go on a run of 6 unbeaten games in the league, and have also attracted the attentions of multinational corporations, who want to tap into his Micky Mellon management methodology.
