Summary
Breaking down of every scene of episode four of The English Game, a show which almost certainly does not deserve this much attention.
In our defense, we do add some good historical footnotes, including what really happened to Jimmy Love after he played for Darwen FC.
Coming soon: The TSS Book Club. Our first book will be "The Age of Football: Soccer in 21st Century" by David Goldblatt. Link to buy the book, below:
