Leftist football: Why these clubs matter and lessons for the left

THIS is to conclude our series on left leaning clubs and their supporters. Hopefully more from us later.
My colleague Vince Raison and I appeared on a podcast last night in which the host asked us about what football could do about the toxic masculinity, xenophobia, racism and sexism associated with football and its supporters, not wholly unfairly.
