Episode 786 - "1998 Play-off Final Revisited - with Kevin Phillips"

Back in 2020, we spoke to Kevin Phillips about the two Division One seasons of 1997-8 and 1998-9, and spent 15 minutes or so talking about the 1998 play-off final against Charlton. In this special episode we revisit that chat - on the pod that day with Kevin was Stephen Goldsmith, Gareth Barker, Craig Clark and Richard Easterbrook.
