We talk exclusively to football writer Paul Brown, author of Savage Enthusiasm, which chronicles the history of football fandom. How does the modern fan differ from the spectators of 150 years ago at the birth of association football? How has fandom reflected societal changes? Have a listen, it's fascinating.

We discuss who was the true "father of Italian football" with the writers and producers of a new film and book about a Nottingham textile worker who founded what would become one of the world's greatest clubs.

Plus we discover how the A-League is growing in Australia, where to go, and the emerging ultra cultures of soccer Down Under.
