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.

In this episode of 'Wearing the Red & Green' I speak to former sports reporter of the Windsor Observer, Ron Chakraborty. Ron covered the Royalists in the mid 1990s. We discuss our famous 1995/96 promotion run, life as a sports reporter pre-internet, smart phone and email as we know it today, through to his current role as Head of Major Events & General Sport at BBC Sport - a role that over the years has seen Windsor & Eton often discussed in the halls of the BBC!

In this episode of 'Wearing the Red & Green' I speak to our former chairman Steve Gillham. Steve had been a supporter of Windsor & Eton from his childhood back in the 1950s, and we discuss his journey from supporter through to becoming chairman in the early 1990s. We discuss the dark times of those relegations and the hard work undertaken to save the club when it encountered those financial challenges back in 1992. We also talk managers and his reappointment of the great Alf Coulton, the appointment of Alan Davies and the manager that was so close to taking over, but sadly got away…
