Show Notes
Our very own Andy Brassell has written another book! Called ‘We Play On’, it’s all about Shakhtar Donetsk’s remarkable modern history – from being cast out of their original home in Donbas in 2014, to being bombed out of Ukraine altogether in 2022.
Once flippantly dubbed ‘The Brazilian Colony’ for their history of bringing through Brazilian stars, Shakhtar is now a club for all of Ukraine. They are the country’s shining light on the European stage and a reminder of football’s power to provide hope in the darkest times.
Dotun sits down with Andy to ask him more about Shakhtar’s story and his experience of telling it.
