Episode Notes

In Episode 58, we continue our World Cup series 🌍🏆 with The Greatest Show on Earth - The Inside Story of the Legendary 1970 World Cup by Andrew Downie. The book is a recap of the most iconic World Cup of all — the Mexico 1970 tournament 🇲🇽⚽️

Downie’s 2021 book is a kind of oral history 📖, with the players involved describing each match of that World Cup in their own words, with Downie only jumping in here and there to provide some background and direction.

A bit like the Titanic movie, you probably know how it ends, but join us as we discuss the highs and lows of the first World Cup to be broadcast in colour.
