The Best of 2024 and "Tin Pot" Football's Greatest Forgotten Tournaments

from Talking Sports Books · host TIM CAPLE

Welcome to the final show of the year where we look back at some of the best moments from the last 12 months, we will hear from David Pleat, Steve Bunce, Andy Clarke, Maurice Hope, Gary Newbon and we will look back at the greatest football tournaments forgotten by time but bought back to life in the pages of "Tin Pot" by Simon Turner Tinpot is the story of football's lost tournaments: the strange and forgotten competitions that sparked into life before shuffling off their mortal coil. The book tells their stories, giving them the spotlight they deserve. It's time for something different. It's time to go somewhere new. It's time to wander off the highways of football history and see where long-discarded paths lead. England's major football tournaments seem to have been with us forever. The FA Cup stretches back over 150 years, while the Football League is the oldest competition of its kind in the world. They are the survivors - the bright ideas that quickly caught on. Yet, behind these successes lie countless failed experiments. But they still have their stories to tell.
