Chris Lee: writing Shades of Green, Irish football fan culture and the magnificence of The Oval

With the new League of Ireland season about to kick-off, it was a great opportunity to be joined by Chris Lee - the author of Shades of Green: A Journey Into Irish Football. We talked about the football grounds and fan culture in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with particular focus on the burgeoning football scene in the League of Ireland. Plus, we chatted about the shirts of the upcoming League of Ireland season, why Glentoran's The Oval is so wonderful and tales of meeting Tony Cascarino at a greyhound track in Dublin.
