Former Baggies midfielder Kevin Donovan recalls the 1992-93 promotion season which culminated in a Wembley play-off final attended by 42,000 WBA fans.  It was the season when Boing Boing first erupted on the terraces, and Albion played a swashbuckling style under Ossie Ardiles.

We also get an update on the Smethwick Food Bank from food bank manager Janine Bowers-Wild.

Adrian Goldberg and Chris Lepkowski respond to listeners' questions - including this one; who is the most skilful player you've seen in a WBA shirt.  They trace a line in magical ball players from the Atkinson era to today.  They also answer questions about the club's ownership and its realistic ambitions in a world where oil states like Abu Dhabi and now Saudi Arabia are buying into English football.  There's an update, too, on the Smethwick Food Bank, which has been adopted as this podcast's "good cause".
