We’re back!
After a six month absence to deal with newborn babies and fight with schedules, Nessun Dorma returns to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 1994 World Cup with an eight-part deep dive. Martyn is back on hosting duties as he speaks to Rob Fletcher about where the world of football was in the summer of ‘94, Mac Millings on how the US won the bid and prepared to host the greatest show on earth and Gary Naylor on the sneering cynicism at home.
Romario, Baggio, Bergkamp all feature alongside Daryl Hall, Leonard Bernstein and Richard Littlejohn.
Thanks to all for the support and kind requests for a return to the air. The final episode will be a normal ‘roundtable’ discussion on the Final and the tournament’s legacy but it was impossible to get diaries in sync to ensure that this was the norm for all so these episodes are a little different from how we’ve done things in the past.
We hope that you still enjoy this summer retrospective and our plans for the coming season and beyond.
