In the first of a new series of podcasts, I interview Dr Mark Orton, whose new book El Más Grande (The Greatest) chronicles the history of one of Argentina’s biggest clubs, Club Atlético River Plate.
We look at the roots of the club in the Buenos Aires dockland barrio of La Boca, discuss the highs – and lows – of more than 120 years of football and, of course, its rivalry with Boca Juniors.
I release a new podcast every two weeks, so be sure to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform. You can find Football Travel by Outside Write on Apple, Spotify, Player.FM and Anchor. Look for it in Google Podcasts too. I’d really appreciate a rating or view if you like what I’m doing as it helps others discover the podcast.
