NEW POD: A Tale Of Two Captains

Earlier this week, we sat down with Kieron Brady, who has been digging into achidden Sunderland story. Most of us know the name Raich Carter, the local lad lifting trophies and leading the side out at Wembley in 1937. But that same year, another captain from Wearside was leading a very different mission. Captain Frederick Robinson. While the team chased cup glory, Robinson was sailing towards the Spanish Civil War, carrying aid to those resisting fascism. Yet even then, he and the other volunteers crowded around a ship’s radio to listen to Sunderland’s result. For a few brief hours, football was their escape. A reminder of home. Of normality. Of who they were fighting for. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Being a Sunderland fan in a city where less than 1% of the people follow (real) football AND know anything about the black cats would be very lonely and dull without Stephen and Gareth. - Constant NYC listener.

But this is not “just a podcast”. Must listen to for SAFC fans that aren’t local. I’ve been enjoying these from the states for a couple years. It’s honest, funny and insightful on how the local fans feel about the club on and off the pitch. Keep up the good work lads.
