The 2016/17 A-League season is here, and kicking off the last minute countdown to what should be a huge derby played at ANZ, Andrew was very fortunate to have a true son of the west, John 'The Smiley Bandit' Van Waard sit down and record another hour of Wanderers' related goodness.

Recorded in the luxurious surrounds of Rooty Hill RSL, a.k.a 'The Vegas of the West', John provides yet another unique and fascinating insight into the cosmopolitan background of yet another WSW fan. Thanks to John's Dutch background we talk about Aussie Guus, the Eredivisie, that Socceroos game at the 2014 World Cup, Hersi and Castelen. John's past engagement with football also includes some talk about ex-Socceroo Jason van Blerk and playing with Blacktown City. 

There's plenty of other chat, ranging from how good (or bad) the 2016/17 Wanderers kit is, the family friendly nature of Wanderers' games, Yoshi and Timmy, and of course the impending derby against the smurfs

As usual there's the 'Speedy Seven', 'What I Would Do if Wanderers CEO' and the Wanderers Mastermind Trivia Challenge.
