046: WoSFL season on the brink PLUS Allan Jenkins Part 2 on Gretna getting promotion too soon then becoming a Ballymena hero, sealed with a kiss

LEAGUE ONE and Two clubs are set to restart their campaigns a week on Saturday.

But what about the sides below that? As the days and weeks go on, just how are seasons going to be finished in time.

We’ll discuss that – and hear some inside information from Paul.

One of the League Two sides who’ll be back in action is Stranraer – and later we’ll hear the second part of our interview with club legend Allan Jenkins.

First we’ll hear about his move to ambitious Gretna.

He’ll tell us what it was like being cup-tied for the Scottish Cup final –why James Grady’s dramatic injury-time goal was the worst thing to happen – and what it was like playing in the top flight after being told he wasn’t wanted.

But Allan is idolised in Ireland too. He went on to play even more games for Ballymena than he did for Stranraer.

He’ll look back on six years at the Showgrounds under the best manager he’s played under – and the only one who’d kiss him before kick-off.

There’s scoring the goal that helped lift the League Cup after discovering his mum had been diagnosed with cancer.

And there’s his move into the juniors, first with Hurlford - when Auchinleck Talbot snatched away the Scottish Cup – and then with Darvel.

It’s all here as we go, Down The Divisions.

Just listened to this very episode and then coincidentally saw this thread. Good podcast- the third or fourth in the series I've listened to, and Jenkins comes across very well. Thanks.
