Join us this week as we sit down with Gerry Wolstenholme, the celebrated English author and sports historian hailing from Blackpool. Gerry’s vibrant storytelling brings to life cricket and football histories that have shaped the sporting landscape of Lancashire and beyond.

His works range from detailed matchday chronicles and trivia-packed club miscellanies like Blackpool, to poetry like The Lost‑Love Poems of a Madman, written following the loss of his wife in 2004.

In this special episode, we sit down with Albert Cooper, the man behind one of football’s most iconic photographs — the image of Bobby and Jack Charlton, arm in arm, just moments after England’s legendary 1966 World Cup victory. 

Hear the untold story behind the shot, what it was like to be on the pitch that historic day, and how a single frame came to define a generation of English football.
