Now available to buy online, Sunday’s match programme includes an in-depth interview with Aaron Hickey.
Having developed his game in Serie A - a division synonymous with the art of defending - Aaron has adapted seamlessly to Premier League football.
He spoke with us about his time at Bologna, scoring in the Edinburgh derby and playing in the Scottish Cup final as a 16-year-old.
“Going around Italy and playing at different stadiums was a massive experience,” said Aaron.
“Playing at the San Siro is like playing at the Colosseum! I liked [Paolo] Maldini and his long hair when I was growing up [Laughs]. Playing there was class.
“My cousins were there for that game because they were in Milan for a holiday. They were sat way up at the top, looking down on me on the pitch. I must have looked like a wee dot! It was another thing that I’d dreamt of, playing in big games against big teams in big stadiums.
"It is very defensive and tactical in Italy, but I didn’t mind it. It’s good to learn these things and it was a change from playing in Scotland.”
Our second interviewee is Gary Roberts, who played 224 games and scored 63 goals for the Bees during the 1980s.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Gary recalled for our Kings of the Castle feature when asked about his first professional goal against Fulham in February 1981.
“It was such a whirlwind. I came on after about an hour and got booked within two minutes for a little tussle with Les Strong.
“About eight or nine minutes later, the ball was knocked down from the corner to me on the angle of the 18-yard box and I volleyed it straight back in the far corner.
“I was euphoric as it all happened so quickly. I’ve come across [former Fulham goalkeeper] Jim Stannard quite a few times over the years in non-league football and reminded him of that moment, when he was flailing his arms at thin air!”
