We’re back from a month off over the summer – and we’re back with a bang!

If there is someone who has had a front row seat in Yeovil Town’s history in recent years, it is Matt Worthington.

Now you can hear it all in his own words:

From arriving on loan and quickly dropping out of the Football League;

Adapting to life back in non-League and the challenges of the COVID pandemic;

Off-the-field shenanigans – takeovers, failed takeovers, not getting paid and a managerial merry-go-round to make your head spin;

But also amazing matches, silencing the crowd at Weymouth, some special team-mates and, of course, THAT trophy lift.

It’s a long episode, but there was a lot to talk about!

In this episode of The Glovers Past, Ben and Ollie sit down with a towering Huish Park fan favorite: former Yeovil Town centre-back Paul Huntington. Joining the club in 2010 after a frustrating, injury-hit spell at Leeds United, Paul reflects on how his two-year stint in Somerset revitalised his love for the game and got his career back on track.

From the initial culture shock of Huish Park’s training facilities to earning the captain’s armband in his early twenties, “Hunts” takes us on a nostalgic journey through a highly memorable League One era for the Green and Whites.

Over the course of the Glovers Past series we’ve been lucky enough to speak to members of Russell Slade’s play off squad who gave us one of, if not the, greatest night of Yeovil Town’s history. That match at the City Ground where those green and white legends won 5-2, a 5-4 win on aggregate after losing 2-0 in the first leg, lives long in the memory of supporters. On this special episode of the Glovers Past, we bring you the memories of Lee Morris, Andy Lindegaard, Craig Alcock, Scott Guyett and Marcus Stewart.

They’ve only gone and done it.

Thanks to Len Copland for the use of his photos from that night at The City Ground and Chris Angulo of Green and White Goals on YouTube for the audio on the intro.

In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Yeovil had one of the steadiest right backs in the Conference. That man was Dave Piper and he is this month’s guest on the Glovers Past. Remembered for his dashing runs down the wing at Huish Park, he played more than 150 times during four seasons with the club and was in fact the first player to score in front of the home end after it was covered with a roof.

In 2009, a couple of young loanees turned up from Tottenham Hotspur and made an instant impact. One of those, Jonathan Obika, came back a further three times leaving a mini-mark on Huish Park. On this month’s Glovers Past, we catch up with the former striker who scored 24 times in his 77 appearances in green and white.
