I'm delighted to announce the launch of a new podcast series, 'Wearing the Red & Green'. The series will feature in-depth interviews with former players, managers, officials and supporters of Windsor & Eton FC who will discuss their time wearing the Red & Green...

Introduction to Wearing the Red & Green

Welcome to the first episode of Wearing the Red & Green. In this podcast I speak to two forwards from the late 80s and early 90s, Richard Evans & Shaun Gilman. We discuss what made their partnership so successful and their favourite memories of wearing the Red & Green.

Interview with Richard Evans & Shaun Gilman

In our second episode of 'Wearing the Red & Green' I speak to our former goalkeeper and longest serving player, Kevin Mitchell. The word legend is often overused in football, but I can honestly say that Mitch was a Red & Green legend. We discuss FA Cup runs, his man of the match performance against Red Star Belgrade, his Royal testimonial, pre-match rituals down the pub, his refusal to get married during the football season, and much, much more.

In this episode of 'Wearing the Red & Green' I speak to our former captain Mark Woods. Woodsy was everything you want in a captain and it was little surprise that he was once named players' player of the year 5 years in a row. We discuss his time at Windsor, his man of the match performance marking Tony Cascarino and of course, that goal at Hertford.

In this week's episode of Wearing the Red & Green, I speak to arguably one of the club's finest left backs, Gary Woodcraft. We discuss his memories of playing at Stag Meadow, those FA Cup runs of the early 80s, marking Tony Woodcock in those games against Arsenal and what made that back four at Windsor, so special.

In his time at Stag Meadow, Chenns scored over 120 goals and we discuss a number of those goals, a number of his most memorable games, the team's infamous night out in Truro, his trial at Brentford, and the injustice, of the only red card of his career.

He was a Windsor lad who supported from the terraces in the 70s and early 80s, played in the youth team, reserves, before going on to play over 300 times for the first team. We recount some great stories from his playing days, and discuss why one local newspaper dubbed him, Michel Platini!

Barney, was regarded by both supporters and his team mates as one of the finest centre halves in non league football. We discuss his time wearing the Red and Green, why he felt we were just a couple of players short of being title contenders, why his time at Stag Meadow was the most enjoyable of his career, and the truth, behind that move to Barnet and then days later, Chesham United.

Christened the Colonel by supporters, Keith guided the club to its last ever Berks & Bucks Senior Cup and League title winning season. We discuss, his professional career - including that goal at Anfield, his time at Stag Meadow where we reminisce on those successes, the off-field challenges he had to incur as manager, and we lay to rest some of the unsubstantiated myths that have wrongly been thrown in his direction, over the years. I also give Keith the right of reply on the pin-stripe suit debate and of course drainpipe gate down in Truro!
