The 'Basque Children of 1937' with Christopher Evans (+ bonus talk on Football Against Fascism)

I am joined for a second time by Christopher Evans, author of Los Leones, the definitive biography in English of Athletic Club de Bilbao, to discuss the incredible story of several Basque refugee children who came to Britain to escape the Spanish Civil War and ended up becoming prominent footballers. This is the post I referenced in the interview about the Clapton Community Football Club International Brigades away shirt.  The second part of the podcast is a talk I gave recently on the history of football against fascism for Brigata Ultra Clapton and the Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia (ANPI - the National Italian Partisans' Association) Visit Outside Write on Substack for more groundhopping and football history.
