S6 Ep1: 27th August 2021 - Hayes & Yeading Goal-den start, FC United of Wrexham's Futsal roots & FA Cup Factfile's Fact-packed book

The Non League Football Show

Tim Fuell returns with a new season of The Non League Football Show, with a cameo from Dave Anderson.
First up his own gaffer. Paul Hughes has led his Hayes & Yeading United side to aborted promotion pushes and two televised FA Cup First Round ties in the past two seasons and has started off this one with three wins from three netting 12 goals. It's very early in the season but what's the magic behind that start?
Whilst others struggled to keep their club alive during the pandemic Andrew Ruscoe created a new one. With a men's side in the fifth tier of the Welsh system, the club is founded on Futsal foundations, youth and community but there are some interesting learnings for the rest of Non-league.
He's been a stalwart of the show for years, and now in its 150th competition year @FACupFactfile Phil Annets has brought out a book celebrating the greatest football cup competition in the world. Hear why celebrated sports journalist Henry WInter was happy to put his name to the cover quote and just why the competition is called The FA Challenge Cup.
Rounding off the show is Editor at Large of The Non League Paper Matt Badcock. Printed all through the pandemic and the summer, the paper is now back to including over 100 match reports every week alongside other news and views. Find out what this weekend's paper will include.
