It’s part of the national myth: the English invented football and to England it will return (next time!).

But if football is part of what makes England England, it’s equally part of the story of how Europe became Europe.

In this Pro Revolution Soccer season finale, Tom Williams and Juliet Jacques tell this story of oddballs, war, oligarchs, dodgy deals and footballing genius.

Music by Matt Huxley.
