Episode 9.
We start by introducing a guest to the Show. Simon Gray joined us to talk to us about recent events in Kakkonen (Finland’s third level of football). Simon played in the recent 8-0 defeat for FC Virkiä from Lapua that got some of our listeners and presenters rather excited. This was his debut in professional football, at the ripe old age of 50!!
He also told us about Virkiä’s links to Liverpool FC, and the summer training camps that have been held in Lapua in recent years. Finally, Simon got the chance to meet a hero recently in a training session with Jari Litmanen, the man known as 'Kuningas' in Finland.
Following on from losing the Suomen Cup final (on penalties to SJK) HJK faced HIFK in the Stadin Derby (Helsinki derby) which resulted in a dramatic 2-1 victory for HIFK and disturbances in the crowd.
Finally, with 3 full rounds of games remaining, we look at the question posed in FFS8: ‘Does anyone want to win this league?’
