We mark the Athletic’s 2025 Conference League campaign with a European special, digging into the archives for matches old and not so old. We review the submissions for the Pat’s Cult Heroes XI - listen out for the criteria we decide. We review the Saints’ 13th season in competitive football, 1942/43. Gary takes on an alphabetical challenge and we answer some more of the mailbag questions.
