With the benefit of hindsight it had been coming for years, but the events of May 1985 blew through football in this country like a slow motion nightmare. In just eighteen days, 96 people were killed at matches featuring English clubs, the result of years of policy failure and stagnation.

Football in England underwent quite a few changes during the summer of 1974, but few would have guessed at the time that within just a few years English clubs would come to dominate the European Cup. For all of that, though, hooliganism was continuing to grow and the England national team would spend the rest of the decade in something of a rut. This week, we have the story of football in England & Wales between 1975 and 1981. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Podcast 201: An Echo of Glory, Part 11 - Decline, Part 1

Last week, we told the story of the big personality and big battles that defined football in England and Wales between 1969 and 1975. This, however, is only one of the narratives of this era.

This is the story of that decline, and of how nobody who could have done anything about it did so. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
