Episode 53: The Damned United by David Peace
Q: What do you think this book is responsible for how they're remembered?

Episode 44: The Soccer War by Ryszard Kapuściński
Q: Why don't you just stick to football?
I guess that's who I'm rooting for.
Episode 44: The Soccer War by Ryszard Kapuściński
Q: What have you got to say for yourself?
I think it was the third ever episode we did, Al. It was Ian Wright's book. I have actually read the wrong book this time.
Episode 39: Di Stefano by Ian Hawkey
Q: What did you know about Alfredo Di Stefano before starting this book?
Both hosts admitted to having limited knowledge about Di Stefano, recognizing him mainly as a Real Madrid legend and acknowledging his significant contributions to early European football victories.
Episode 21: Peter Taylor - With Clough
Q: What do you think is the life cycle of a football book?
I mean, I was astonished I could get it on Kindle, on Amazon, because there's some of these big books we've done and contemporary ones I can't, but I could get this on US, Amazon, on Kindle.
