Stuart Steelyard, the man behind the excellent Stu's Football Flashbacks on social media, joins Martyn to talk about his first book on the chaotic and fun hinterland between Italia '90 and the birth of the Premier League, two years characterised by the sponsorship of the League Cup by Rumbelows. Thrills, spills, sprint challenges and televisions being won by the man of the match, so much was crammed into two seasons.
This fun, well-researched and evocative read can be found here and in the usual places. https://amzn.eu/d/000I3FC4
