The Weekend Read

Martin McKenzie-Murray on the ugly side of football fandom ahead of Euro 2024


Listen Later

The 2024 Euros are just weeks away – with some of the best footballers in the world competing in an event that draws in hundreds of millions of viewers.

But the legacy of the last Euros is still an uncomfortable topic for many in England. Not only because they lost, but also the scenes of violence and hooliganism that led to a national debate and a new Netflix documentary.

Today, journalist Martin McKenzie-Murray reads his piece from this weekend’s edition of The Saturday Paper.
