Interview with Paul Joannou on Bill McCracken, the Offside King
•
Conor Heffernan & Jonathan Cooper
This week we chatted with Paul Joannou about his new book Bill McCracken: The Offside King. Paul walks us through McCracken’s career at Newcastle United, how he turned the offside trap into an art form, and why his influence quietly changed football’s laws. It’s a lovely look at an overlooked figure and the early tactical mind of the game. A gentle, nerdy episode for anyone who likes their football history with a bit of curiosity and understatement.
