November 05, 2021 FA Cup 1st Round Preview & the Wigan Win Bonus Scheme of 2013
Stig takes it upon himself to chart the relatively unknown waters of the FA Cup 1st Round as Marv tends to Mick who is being held hostage in a basement at an unknown location.

Luckily a hero arrives in the form of Ipswich Town's Club Secretary Stuart Hayton who saves us all, talking about the Tractor Boys clash with Oldham Athletic this weekend.

Undoubtedly though, the best bit is when he describes his time at Wigan and how their players' Cup bonus scheme saw their historic victory over Manchester City actually cost the club more money than the tournament awarded them.

That's Living All Right!

Much Love,

Stig, Mick & Marv

October 31, 2021 David Cross - 1980 - West Ham v Arsenal & The Birth of the Smithy Book Club!
What lies beneath?A fascinating chat with a lad who put himself about but was racked with self doubt. David Cross is a winner in more ways than one - a Cup winner, a proud father, a reader of literature and willing to expose his frailties that fly in the face of his rampant persona as a footballer.Bravo!Time with chaps like this is fascinating for the little lads who we once were.We hope you enjoy it.Much Love,Stig, Mick & MarvTwitter: @smithmustscoreFacebook: @andsmithmustscore Emai...
