Episode 1546: The Cody Final Factor, The Names Heard Long Ago, Kerry’s Ref Bias Theory, Potty Mouth Kyrgios
15 years in the making, Jonathan Wilson has finally got his white whale – a book about the history of Hungarian football and how those great teams and managers helped shape the game in Europe (23.30 mins).
We speak to Jonathan about “The Names Heard Long Ago” – the story of the brief and brilliant golden age of Hungarian football. Were the West Germans using PEDs? Why did the mighty magyars wane as a force in the game? And how come the ideas from this team spread around the world?
How Gyula Mándi survived the war to help craft the great Hungary side of the early fifties – an extract from The Names Heard Long Ago. https://t.co/xL8IKm3k1o

Brian Hogan has done it and seen it all with Kilkenny. He talks to us (5.05 mins) about the Brian Cody factor on All Ireland Final day, whether he was a wild man or a little sleepy before games and why he was more worried about Kilkenny facing Limerick than he is about facing Tipp.

Plus there’s Kerry’s flawed ref bias theory, Nick Kyrgios’ potty mouth, and Eoin’s low point of the week.
