England

The Championship with Nige Tassell

Can you guess what the world’s fifth most-attended league is after the Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A? It’s England’s second tier, The Championship.

Here, you’ll find huge clubs, such as twice European champions, Nottingham Forest, along with other former top-flight clubs, like Fulham, Queens Park Rangers, Derby County, both of Sheffield’s top clubs, and more…

Football writer Nige Tassell spent a Covid-interrupted season chronicling the fortunes of three clubs as they negotiated The Championship.

We discuss his book, plus the magic of the division, arguably the most exciting in England.
