It’s Injury Time 28 ⚽️ and we are immersing ourselves in the 1970s 🕺 with a draft of players from the World Cups of that decade 🌍🏆

Throughout the lifetime of the Dynamo Football Bookclub 📚, Alistair has tried to fit around 12 players on the football Mount Rushmore 🗿. But if there really were only to be four on such a landmark, there is a very real chance that three of them would have played in the 70s ⭐️. It was the decade that football embraced modernity 🎥, with matches broadcast in colour for the first time, projecting the beautiful canary yellows 🟡 and blood oranges 🟠 of that magnificent era.

With John leading the World Cup series 2 drafts to 1 📊, can Alistair even things up? Please do join us to find out 🎙️👀

In Episode 58, we continue our World Cup series 🌍🏆 with The Greatest Show on Earth - The Inside Story of the Legendary 1970 World Cup by Andrew Downie. The book is a recap of the most iconic World Cup of all — the Mexico 1970 tournament 🇲🇽⚽️

Downie’s 2021 book is a kind of oral history 📖, with the players involved describing each match of that World Cup in their own words, with Downie only jumping in here and there to provide some background and direction.

A bit like the Titanic movie, you probably know how it ends, but join us as we discuss the highs and lows of the first World Cup to be broadcast in colour.

In Injury Time 27, we continue our draft journey through the World Cups, focusing this time on the tournaments in Chile in ’62 🇨🇱 and England in ’66 🏴.

Al has been comprehensively battered in both our previous World Cup drafts, but he is on home turf here having lived in both countries. With his pride and reputation at stake, can he dig as deep as his heroes of ’66 ⚽ and claim his first victory in our World Cup draft series?
