In this podcast, I speak to four people involved in the telling of the story of Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys. Founded in 1903, the Rosario-based club was inspired to play by the influence of Isaac Newell, born in Kent, England, who moved to Argentina and set up a school where football and physical education complemented academic studies. 

In this podcast, we hear from (in order):

• Adrian Pope, who has been campaigning for a statue of Isaac Newell in his hometown of Strood for more than 20 years
• Amanda J. Thomas, who's writing a biography of Isaac Newell
• Jon Rye, who curated an exhibition about Newell in 2022
• Margarita Newell, great-great-granddaughter of Isaac Newell and great-granddaughter of Claudio Newell, the club's founder
