This week’s guest is Jonathan Grade, who worked on Channel 4’s iconic Football Italia show for nearly a decade from beginning to end. He has chronicled his experience working on the show and the story of Italian football during that period in his book Golazzo: The Football Italia Years.
We discuss some of the great names of the era, plus get a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to work with the show’s anchor, James Richardson, commentator Peter Brackley, and other pundits, such as Ray Wilkins.
