Football Travel Podcast: The History of Football Fandom

Please share:
Fans stand at Tunbridge Wells FC in the ninth tier of English football.

In this podcast, we talk exclusively to Paul Brown, the author of Savage Enthusiasm, which chronicles the story of the football fan from the very dawn of association football as a spectator sport. It’s a fascinating interview and it’s interesting to hear how fandom has evolved, reflected social changes, and how similar – and different – the modern fan is from the original football spectator. Enjoy!
