You might remember 00s football legend Andy Crabbe. Not on the pitch, but because we made him up on the show a few weeks ago. Now we're writing his autobiography and our brilliant listeners have sent countless great ideas in. We'll be bringing you up to speed with the Crabbe story so far PLUS reading the first ever chapter. As well as another listener's moment in time, James saves a newt and an exciting announcement.

We're joined this week by Not The Top 20 podcast's George Elek, to celebrate the career of a football league legend - Dean Windass. Together we read his 2007 book 'Deano', so expect Neil Warnock drama, Peter Schmeichel yelling at a single bed and Dean's complicated relationship with frozen peas.

A slight tangent from typical autobiographies this week as we read a genre we're all fascinated by - the stocking filler. Much like Danny Baker and Nick Hancock, Liverpool legend Alan Hansen put his name to a lot of these, including 2009's 'Strangest Football Injuries', a bizarre mix of football nostalgia, jellyfish stings and unsettling government statistics. Plus we meet Ken's rival Lallana Del Rey.
