Episode 3075: David Peace On “Munichs”, The Betrayal Of The English Football Man(ager)
Ken has recovered from food poisoning and we revisit the burning Thomas Tuchel question: has he declared for the Little Englanders or the Merchants of Woke?
David Peace joins us in studio to talk about his new novel, Munichs, centred around the Munich air disaster of 1958.

We talk to David about following football from eight time zones away in Japan, the dark side of the 1950s idyll, and how the regulars at Huddersfield Town’s Leeds Road ground in the 1970s would have reacted to the news that England had appointed a German manager.
