This week’s episode of Moorlands Sport Extra in association with Leek Building Society is out.
On the podcast, we are joined by local author Dave Proudlove who talks to us about his new book- Work and Play, The Industrial Roots of English Football.
As it says on the tin, the book looks at the industrial roots of the English game right across the spectrum from Manchester United and Stoke City down to the likes of Frickley Athletic and Easington Colliery Welfare.
Not only do we talk about the book including how the book came about and some of the exciting stories that readers can look forward to, we touch on a couple of teams close to Dave’s heart in Stoke City following their 6-1 win over Portsmouth on Wednesday night and Alsager Town ahead of their trip to Cammell Laird 1907 (a team that features in Dave’s book) at the weekend.
The book is out on 21st October from Pitch Publishing.
You can always listen to the podcast below or by your chosen podcast provider.
