Program

Sport is often celebrated as a shared national language, but some stories never make the highlight reel. In this engaging session, Paul Nicholls and Trevor Thompson uncover lesser-known episodes, scandals, and sidelined figures that have shaped the history of sport, particularly the most global game of all, soccer. They explore what happens when sport’s myths collide with reality, and why some history takes decades to surface. A conversation about the hidden histories of the games we think we know.
