FA Cup third round: Dare to dream

Bbc World Service
About this episode

It's the third round of the FA Cup and Chorley FC who are in the sixth tier of English football travel to Championship team Derby County. We will speak live to the club ahead of the fixture. Plus we hear from Paul the FA Cup fact file on some of the most weird and wonderful stats on the competition and speak live to lifelong Crawley Town fan Carol Bates ahead of their FA Cup match against Leeds United. She also tells us how she will be staying entertained during lockdown 3.0.

Away from the FA Cup, it is wildcard weekend in the NFL and Caroline speaks to the BBC's Osi Umenyiora about what we can expect and why it is being dubbed 'Super' Wildcard weekend.

Back in 2018, the Czech Republic's Ester Ladecka made history - the first person to compete in snowboarding and skiing at the Olympics in Pyeongchang. But she wasn’t done there - and would go on to become the first woman to win two golds in different disciplines at the same Games. She speaks to BBC Sportshour's Katie Smith.

We are live in Sydney where the third test between Australia and India is taking place.

Finally we pay our own tribute to Gerry Marsden, whose version of You'll Never Walk Alone became a football terrace anthem for his hometown club of Liverpool. The voice of Anfield George Sephton tells us about when he met Gerry and what the song means to not just Liverpool but sports fans around the world.
