We're joined by former Cobblers striker Chris Freestone for a chat about his career and his time at Sixfields between 1997 and 1999.
A crowd favourite at Cobblers, Freestone talks us through his formative, goal-busting years in Nottinghamshire football, where Andy Cole also cut his teeth. Freestone then went on to Middlesbrough under Brian Robson playing with the likes of Juninho before being signed by Ian Atkins for Northampton Town.
Freestone's game was about pace and finishing and the speedy striker featured in the Cobblers side that reached Wembley in the Division 2 Playoff Final in 1998. A classic Cobblers League Cup win over West Ham followed, on one of the great cup nights at Sixfields, as Freestone notched a brace as Northampton beat the Hammers over 2 legs.
Things didn't finish ideally for Freestone at Cobblers and we talk about his departure and career since leaving the Town.
A fascinating insight into a football career from the bottom up and the instincts of a goal-scorer.
