Joey d'Urso: how football shirts tell the story of the modern world, travelling the world to spy random football shirts and why we all love Villa Park.

Former Athletic journalist and current The Times and Sunday Times reporter Joey d'Urso joined us to talk about his book, More Than A Shirt: How Football Shirts Explain Global Politics, Money and Power. We discussed his excellent book and the global adventures it took him , as well as digging into some of the shirts explored in the book and how they are a reflection of football off the pitch and modern society in general. Plus, Matt brings along some shirts from his own collection to suggest for a possible sequel to More than a Shirt. You can find Joey on X at @josephmdurso and on Instagram at @joeydurso92.
