Bracknell Town have a new manager in Jon Underwood. The former Slough Town joint-manager knows expectations are high, but stability is required after what has been an unsettling time.

Football in Berkshire were granted a sit down with the new boss ahead of his unveiling and 'Unders' doesn't disappoint. From what he learned during his first stint with the club to going it alone with the Robins - and how important his National League South network will be in the new job.

Awards night host Paul reflects on an event he clearly loved being a part of, his favourite moments and who he’ll be keeping an eye on this season.

There’s his Darren Barnard connection (Wokingham Town fans you’ll enjoy this), kit chat, and Kitson chat, plus Greenland football and what he means when he said ‘Chris Ellis knew exactly what was coming’.

Then there’s also a proposed stay at the YMCA (Reading-branch). But you’ll have to listen along to find out more.
