  • Fútbol y Facism

    Fútbol y Facism
    Sep 5 2025
    Spain was one of later countries to embrace professional football during the late 1920's and just as it started to gather momentum, it was abruptly interupted with outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. We are delighted to be joined by Chris Lee, author of 'Origin Stories', 'Shades of Green' and the spectacular 'The Defiant - A History of Football against Facism' as we discuss how football in Spain was affected by the Civil War and how football became a tool during the Franco Era but how it also contributed to the rebirth of Spain as a democracy.

    The World Cup in 2010 was a tournament of firsts. First one to held in Africa, first to have a scientifically enhanced ball. Not the first appearance for North Korea weirdly... But it was a first for Spain and a first that they had been waiting to achieve for decades. 15 years ago today, Vicente Del Bosque led his side into the cauldron of 'Soccer City' with a chance to become Kings of the World and subsequently, history was made. Join Nick and Paul for the last episode of this season as they bring back fond memories of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and relive Spain's incredible success in winning the World Cup!
