Description
James Allcott is joined by Andy Brassell (@andybrassell) and David Arrowsmith (@mrwriterman79) to discuss Andy’s book ‘We Play On’. The trio discuss how football in Ukraine has suffered, changed, and risen again following the invasion by Russia in February 2022. The trio focus on how Shakhtar Donetsk have become ‘the people’s team’ in Ukraine and what the repercussions of the war have meant to what was once a European footballing giant.
