Chris Etchingham - When Football Was War Plus The Shooting
Manage episode 487777832 series 3670625
The Yugoslav wars of the 1990s led to the break up of Yugoslavia into six independent countries.
Not surprisingly, this had a massive effect on their leagues, both on their domestic leagues and their national team, which was in the midst of its own golden generation.
Writer Chris Etchingham has written a book on this called Emancipation for Goalposts: Football's Role in the Fall of Yugoslavia. I discussed with him the effect the war had on Yugoslavian football and how football hooligans played a role in the war itself.
