The Echo: England's Greatest Defender?

The Echo is a podcast devoted to the forgotten heroes of British football. With each episode, we will journey back a number of decades to remember them men who played football for pride, passion and the love of the game. Today, we delve into the story of a man hailed by Sir Tom Finney as 'the best centre-half I ever played with or against'. A man who defied the FA and who crossed oceans in search of something bigger and better. And, in doing so, erased his name from history. This is the story of Neil Franklin.
