Football for All: An interview with Ben & Jeremy Corbyn

Tom and Juliet talk to former Labour Party leader and independent MP Jeremy Corbyn and his son Ben about their relationship with football – in Ben’s case as a coach, in Jeremy’s as a local and national politician, and in both cases as Arsenal fans and football enthusiasts. Why should people on the left care about football, and the grass roots in particular? What are the challenges facing youth football, and how can community organising and other political action overcome them? Who won when Militant played Labour Briefing in the 1980s, and does Jeremy own any Football Casual gear?
