Summary

The Totally Football Show brings you this summer series to coincide with the release of Zonal Marking, a book written by Michael Cox. Each week, Michael and Iain Macintosh will be joined by a familiar face from the Totally Football Show, to take a look at a classic side from the last 25 years of European football. In episode 5, Alvaro Romeo joins us to remember Spain shedding their tag of serial bottlers. They won three major tournaments in a row, with or without a striker, monopolising silverware just as they monopolised the ball.BUY THE BOOK HERE: https://smarturl.it/zonalmarking
