Adrian Goldberg discusses the extent to which the identity and political views of Andy Burnham - hotly tipped to be the next PM - have been shaped by his association with football. There are contributions from Dave Boyle, who worked with Burnham at Supporters Direct, a government funded body designed to encourage fan ownership, and Graham Ennis, a fellow Evertonian, who ran the fanzine 'When Skies Are Grey'.

Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.
