My guest is Dominic Bliss, whose biography of the legendary Hungarian coach Ernö Egri Erbstein led not only to the refounding of an historic Budapest football club, but also a new tournament in his name.

The second edition will be held in South-West London over the weekend of 23-24 July and features Corinthian-Casuals, Budapesti Atletikai Klub, the world’s oldest club Sheffield FC, and Hilltop FC, a team representing London’s Somalian diaspora. Hilltop FC is filling in for the Fall River Marksmen from the USA, who had to withdraw – Please note this podcast discusses the Marksmen as it was recorded before they had to pull out.

It’s going to be fascinating…come down! You can find out more and get tickets at EgriErbstein.org.

If you’re interested in learning more about Corinthian-Casuals, Sheffield FC, Fall River Marksmen and the early Hungarian football scene, please read my book Origin Stories: The Pioneers Who Took Football to the World.
