Episode Details

56. Jack Kirby

This week we're joined by Kal Singh Dhindsa, the person who successfully ran a recent campaign to restore the grave of former Derby County player Jack Kirby.

Jack Kirby is best remembered as the player who, during a football tour of Germany in 1934, refused to give the Nazi salute, instead choosing to turn his back on it.

We talk with Kal about the relevance of footballers in defying fascism and racism today, Kal's work in other football restoration projects and how the stories of former footballers can be used to empower people and places.
