In this episode Frank sits down for a chat with Dominic Bliss, journalist, author of 'Erbstein: The Triumph and Tragedy of Football's Forgotten Pioneer' and co-founder of The Egri Erbstein Tournament.

Frank and Dominic chat the extraordinary life and times of Ernő Egri Erbstein.

Erbstein was one of the greatest coaches there has ever been, a pioneering tactician and supreme man-manager who created Il Grande Torino, the team that dominated Italian football in the years immediately after the Second World War.

Erbstein's life was an extraordinary one characterised by courage and resourcefulness in the face of adversity and he was a part of the great Jewish coaching tradition developed in the coffee houses of Budapest.

From his playing days to his managerial start in Bari, Erbstein's story is an amazing tale and through years of painstaking research Dominic has pieced together the lost history of one of football's most influential figures.

Enjoy the conversation.
