The episode explores personal sporting stories through a documentary about boxer Howard Winstone and a book about football and family.
Welcome to this week’s Socially Distant Sports Bar with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero. This week’s documentary and book both take us into much more personal sporting territory. Mike brings in a documentary about Howard Winstone , the great Welsh boxer from Merthyr Tydfil who became world featherweight champion and one of the defining figures in Welsh boxing history. Elis has chosen Without Robbie by Luke James, a deeply personal story about football, family and grief. As ever, the documentary and book are merely the starting points, as the conversation heads off into sporting memories, families, Wales and whatever else occurs to Mike, Elis and Steff along the way.
