Simon Binns joined us to chat about his book Red Star Paris: More Than Just a Football Club. We talked about the so-called “hipster” ethos surrounding Red Star, their excellent recent marketing, and the unique charm of Stade Bauer. We also delved into Middlesbrough — Simon’s first love — and some of the wonderfully fun names who’ve worn the Boro shirt, as well as why David Bellion is, quite simply, a great guy.
