All Played Out by Pete Davies - a podcast by JOE

30 years ago, Pete Davies was handed the journalistic golden ticket: full access to the England players and manager throughout the 1990 World Cup: pre-and post-match, at hotels and training camps, to write a book on Italia 90. The game was in a dreadful state: Hooliganism was rife and Bobby Robson's men were struggling, dragged down by the gutter press. What happened next in the summer of 1990 was the perfect storm. On this week's Sportspages, Davies talks about that magical month in Italy, of England's run to the semi-final, of Gazza, Maradona, and Milla. And of one night in Turin. This is the story of the brilliant All Played Out.
