My guest is Richard Hough, author of Verona Campione: The Miracle of 85, a book about Hellas Verona’s unlikely 1985 Scudetto triumph. We discuss the story behind that epic win, plus learn about Verona’s other two clubs, Chievo and Virtus.
Stick around at the end for a bonus recording of a talk on Italian football partisans during World War II that I gave recently at Manchester’s Festa della Liberazione, marking 80 years since the liberation of Italy.
