In this episode Andy and Jim mark the 40th anniversary of Bill Shankly's death by taking a look at his roots back in Glenbuck, East Ayrshire, and how his harsh upbringing helped to shape him into one of Britain's best-ever football managers.
Andy then speaks to Douglas Kenney, one of our brilliant Football Memories Scotland volunteers who undertook a Memory Walk last Friday to raise funds for the charity.
Finally, Andy wraps up this week's episode by paying tribute to the late Jimmy Greaves who sadly passed away recently at the age of 81. An prolific striker in his time as a player, Greaves was also one half of the well-loved TV double act Saint and Greavsie - one of the country's most popular TV shows in its day.
