Cafe Calcio IV: The Spirit Of The Game

Cafe Calcio - Season IV, Episode 1

Cafe Calcio is a football fanzine radio show broadcast out of London on Resonance 104.4 FM and resonancefm.com/listen every Thursday at 19:00, and repeated on Saturday at 11:00

We're back, and we launched the new series with a guest, the caliber of which being equal to anyone we've had on before at the very least. On Thursday night, we welcomed the behemoth of sporting knowledge and all round thoroughly nice chap that is Mihir Bose to the Resonance studios to talk about football and sport in the wider context of his new book: 'The Spirit Of The Game: How Sport Changed The Modern World'. In the show we discussed the origins of fair play and its power as a civilising force, the cult of Horst Dassler and we also touched a little on the mess that is FIFA in current times. These things and much more are covered in the pages of his book, and I can genuinely recommend it to you all.
