Episode 29 – Glory Days of Gold (2020 Christmas Special featuring Kevin Smith, Danny Swanson, and David Barnett)
Welcome to Episode 29 of Glory Days of Gold, our first ever Christmas special!
Recorded across two continents, Glory Days of Gold brings you a regular dose of East Fife FC and Scottish football chat, with a splattering of interesting interviews, fun segments, and music thrown in along the way.
So what can you expect in our Christmas special? Well football chat, festive fun, Christmas music, and interviews for starters.
East Fife players Kevin Smith and Danny Swanson share some of their Christmas memories around Boxing Day matches, football related presents, and what Christmas is like in their households. Plus we find out East Fife legend Dave Clarke’s Fish and Chip condiment choice, manager Darren Young’s favourite jam, look at some of the East Fife news from the past week, and talk more Christmas presents with a footballing flavour.
Away from the football, there’s splatterings of some excellent Christmas songs and our feature interview is with the lead singer from the band The New Royal Family, David Barnett, the man behind the cult section and song that is “Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive?”, as we talk biscuits, football, music, and general nonsense. There’s even a Steve Archibald anecdote!
