I am joined by Bess Dawson and – for a third time on the podcast – Alan McDougall to discuss a book they’re both involved in, called Football Nation: The Playing Fields of German Culture, History and Society.
We look at how football has become intrinsic within German society from its awkward arrival in the 1870s through the darkest periods in German history up to the present, multicultural day.
