In this episode of 'Wearing the Red & Green' I’m joined by former players Micky Barnes and Steve Baynes to look back at our famous FA Trophy run in the 1988/89 season. It was a run that saw us knock out holders Enfield at Stag Meadow and exit in a replay to Manchester-based Hyde United on a plastic pitch in the last 16.
