This is a podcast we think you’re going to love. Our friends at Stak have made a unique six-part documentary about hooliganism in English football. For decades, it dominated headlines, merging the two things England loves most: football and fear. But football hooliganism didn’t disappear.  This series digs deeper – beyond the tabloid articles, beyond the stereotypes – to understand what first attracts people to this subculture and why it’s forced its way back into our society in 2024. Today, you’ll hear Episode 1: Kicking Off. Subscribe at https://lnk.to/englishdisease or search 'The English Disease' to listen to Episode 2 and 3 right now. New episodes drop every Tuesday throughout October. Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter. From Stak, this is Legacy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
