What do the songs that football fans sing on the terraces say about them and wider society? My guest is Andrew Lawn, author of We Lose Every Week: The History of Football Chanting. He has looked at the origins of football fan song and chants, and how that has evolved over time according to popular culture and the prevailing issues of the time.
This is an absolutely fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording and editing it.
