Ok, first of all, big ups to all of you who entered the podcast quiz competition. Some of you even went beyond the call and named not only the player who missed the penalty that saw England knocked out of Euro 96 (Gareth Southgate) but also the player who missed an earlier penalty in the shoot out (David Batty, who was always garbage and shouldnt have been playing for England in the first place).

The primary winner was Stephen Tod of Christchurch. Well done fella. We'll get a 08 YF t-shirt and a copy of Euan McCabe's super football book, World Cup Baby (www.theworldcupbaby.com) out to you shortly.
 
However, because Stephen is from Chch and wont be here this weekend, he sportingly agreed we draw a secondary winner of the tickets to this Sunday's pre-season cup game with the Mariners. And the winner of that secondary draw was Tom Hill (aka Shabba121). Nicely done. You owe Steve a drink. Tom, if you PM me we can sort out how we get the tickets to you (I am assuming you are here in Welly!)
 
So confirming the two winners:
1.) Stephen Tod (t-shirt and book)
2.) Tom Hill (Phoenix tickets)
 
Thanks again to Euan McCabe, the Radio Network and the Phoenix for the prizes.

From my memory, no one else missed in the 96 shoot-out (shearer, gazza, pearce, platt??, sheringham??) and Batty missed in France 98 against the Argies.
 
I loved that in 98 when it went to sudden death, "the guv'nor" (a nickname he gave himself) Paul Ince showed his lack of bottle by letting David Batty, a man who had never taken a penalty in a competitive game, go before him.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
