This week on the Sports Book Podcast Matt talks to 2 authors who've looked into the history of sport both from the 19th century and more recent.
First up he talks to award-winning journalist JAMES LAWTON who began his career in the 1960s covering the great Manchester City side of Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee - an insightful look into the days of citizens and heroes called FOREVER BOYS.
Then we go back to the birth of international cricket in South Africa and the vital role played by Scottish railwayman James Logan - DEAN ALLEN tells the story in EMPIRE WAR and CRICKET IN SOUTH AFRICA.
