Description
Ger Gilroy was joined in studio by the Irish football writer, Richard Fitzpatrick, to discuss his brilliant new book, 'HH: Helenio Herrera – Football's Original Master of the Dark Arts'.
What is in part a study of a footballing icon from the early days of the European Cup, Richard's book explores regions of Herrera's life that extended well beyond the pitch itself.
From his relentless philandering to his larger-than-life personality, his violent temper to his application of mind games that informed Jose Mourinho's approach in later decades, it is a remarkable story superbly told in this new book.
