Episode 292: Kit Symons

Episode 292: Kit Symons

As a 21-year-old in his debut season, Kit Symons was four minutes away from reaching the 1992 FA Cup final with Portsmouth. And then Ronnie Whelan equalised for Liverpool. Further heartache followed as Pompey lost the replay 3-1 on penalties, with Symons (as surprised as anyone when selected) the only one to score.

A trip to Wembley evaded Symons for the rest of his career, but he did win two league titles with Fulham and promotion with Crystal Palace. The centre back also won 36 caps for Wales - coming agonisingly close to qualifying for the 1994 World Cup.

He then managed Fulham, while also helping to end Wales' 58-year wait to qualify for a major tournament as assistant manager to Chris Coleman in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. He was then by Rob Page's side as Wales reached Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup. Oh, and he also had a chat with Michael Jackson and Noel Gallagher (not at the same time). Quite the career.

Carl Roberts sits in for Elis James.
