Joe Edwards has revealed he knew that Yeovil Town would book their place in the League One play-off final from the minute he ran out for the warm in the semi-final second leg against Sheffield United in 2013.

The former Glovers’ midfielder and captain has spoken about the 2-0 win over the Blades on the latest edition of the GloversPast.

Speaking ahead of his first return to Huish Park with Plymouth Argyle in this weekend’s pre-season friendly, he said: “Coming out before the game you could just feel the atmosphere, I had never felt anything like that.

“Even though it was a smaller stadium than I had played in before or after, that was my favourite warm up ever.

“It was packed as soon as we came out, I knew we were going to win from that moment, it just had that feeling and we replicated that with the way we started.”

You can listen to Joe talk about his time at Huish Park including that magical season in the latest edition of the GloversPast below.

Former Yeovil Town defender Nathan Smith has told the Gloverscast about his favourite ever goal in green and white – but it’s probably not the one you are thinking of.

The former Jamaican international scored a goal of the season contender in a 4-2 home defeat against Stockport County during his first spell at the club in December 2008.

Talking to us for the latest edition of the GloversPast, he revealed that goal was no fluke: “Andre McCollin can attest to it. The day before we were in training doing shooting and I think it was Jonesey (Nathan Jones) who said to me ‘keep working on your striking, put the ball down and strike through it.’

“That’s all I was doing and when I scored it I felt a relief knowing a bit of practice and seeing that ball fly like it did fly, it felt sweet.

“But the one that means more to me than the rest of them was against Plymouth in the cup because at the time my Mum was close to losing her life and no-one knew about that.

“So when I show a few of my goals, people always look at that screamer against Stockport as my favourite, but because of everything that was going on behind the scenes, it made that moment a lot more special.”

The goal against Plymouth Argyle came in a 2-1 home win in a League Two match at the end of January 2017, you can see it on a video shot from the Thatcher’s End – here. The Stockport goal is better though, see below.

Listen to Nathan talk to Ian and Ben about how becoming a professional player was “like going from a spoon to eating with a knife and fork” – here.

Former Yeovil Town midfielder Ed Upson revealed he offered his services to Glovers’ boss Chris Hargreaves this summer.

The 32-year-old, who was part of the club’s League One play-off-winning side of 2013, was a free agent following his release by Stevenage at the end of last season.

However, despite having spoken with Hargreaves, who he knew from their time together at Bristol Rovers, an offer was not forthcoming and he chose to move to Isthmian League North side Stowmarket Town, where he began his career.

Speaking to us on a future episode of the GloversPast, he said: “I was away on holiday when Chris got the job and I text him and said ‘Congrats on the job, if you need a midfielder, let me know.’

“He rang me back the day he got the job and asked what my situation was and I told him I was a free agent and he said ‘I’ll be in touch’ but I never heard anything after that.

“I never turned down Yeovil, I never had the opportunity to turn them down, but it would have been a difficult decision for me because it was a time when I felt it was time to settle down with the family.

“I had a couple of offers in the National League and a couple of EFL clubs and it was the biggest decision I have ever had to make.

“If Yeovil had come in with an offer, it would have been a tough decision to make because they are one of the clubs that would have tempted me to be away from home again.

“I made a decision to be at home for the first time in my career, it was a human decision rather than a football decision.“
