This week we discover the Nottingham roots of one of the world’s greatest clubs, AC Milan, plus we take a look at how ‘soccer’ is competing for attention against the more established football codes in Australia.
The Roots of AC Milan (00:51): We talk to author Robert Nieri and LeftLion, the team behind The Lord of Milan, the book and film about how Nottingham textile worker Herbert Kilpin set up what was to become one of the world’s greatest football clubs.
Australian Groundhopping (10:13): We catch up with Sydney-based football podcaster, Gary Andrews, to get tips on where and when to catch A-League soccer in Australia. We also find out how the game is developing and whether it’s breaking out of its traditional Mediterranean ethic group support base and into the mainstream.
