Matt's back with another episode sooner than expected as more titles are released ahead of the autumn rush. First up, we hear from IAN HAWKEY (Sunday Times) who has written the definitive biography of the greatest footballer ever - Alfredo Di Stefano. From leading Real Madrid to 5 European Cups to being kidnapped and being the spark for the hottest rivalry in world football, it's all doumented in DI STEFANO. Then RICHARD GILLIS (Financial Times, Wall Streert Journal) explores just why we're obsessed with captains. He focuses on the Ryder Cup where - supposedly - the captain has so much influence. But is it a leadership delusion and does THE CAPTAIN MYTH say more about us than them. Follow us on @SportsBookPod and don't forget to subscribe with plenty more titles to come...
