With the Bundesliga playing in front of empty stadiums and the Premier League and La Liga warming up on the horizon it is time to delve into sports history, and the Forgotten Stories of Football from the Guardian leans into some hidden until now niches of football.
These are some deep cuts too. Backstory from a match between Man United and Galatasary. A two parter on a famous referee and how polio fears were overcome with the death of a fullback.
Very interesting and well read and paced.
Two pair with the tales, order up some Yorkshire Square or MacLeod ale and have yourself a proper pint of bitter or ESB.
