Our guest is Devon Rowcliffe, whose new book is called Who Ate All the Squid? Football Adventures in South Korea. Rowcliffe outlines the fascinating world of the K-League and the contribution foreign managers and players have made in the development of football in South Korea. We also look at the impact Korean players have made overseas.

We look at the legacy of the 2002 World Cup and explore fan cultures across the peninsula. How influential was North Korea’s performance at the 1966 World Cup to inspiring a football revolution in the South?
