In this episode of Glovers Past, we sit down with Charlie Lee, calling in all the way from the Gold Coast of Australia, to reflect on his deeply eventful spell at Huish Park.

Arriving in the summer of 2019 after Yeovil Town’s relegation to the National League, Charlie was a key part of Darren Sarll’s sweeping squad rebuild. He takes us inside a dressing room packed with massive characters—including Carl Dickinson, Luke Wilkinson, and Lee Collins—and breaks down the momentum that saw the team rack up six consecutive wins before the world ground to a halt.

Charlie speaks candidly about the highest of highs and the lowest of lows during his time in Somerset, moving from his playing days into his first taste of management when he stepped up as interim boss.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The 2019 Rebuild: Dropping into the National League, answering Darren Sarll’s call, and assembling a squad of seasoned leaders.
  • The Covid-19 Playoffs: The bizarre reality of preparing for the biggest games of the season during a national lockdown, and the surreal experience of playing the playoffs behind closed doors.
  • Stepping into the Dugout: Transitioning from player to interim manager after Sarll’s departure, navigating the pressure, and lifting the Somerset Premier Cup.
  • Remembering Lee Collins: A heartfelt and candid reflection on the devastating passing of the club captain, the profound impact it had on the squad, and the incredible difficulty of returning to the pitch in the aftermath.
  • Life Down Under: His transition to coaching at Magic United in Queensland and experiencing football in a completely different climate.

Whether you’re looking for dressing room anecdotes or honest reflections on one of the most turbulent periods in the club’s recent history, Charlie delivers incredible insight into what it truly meant to wear the green and white during this era.

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.
