Hampton & Richmond Borough FC: Walking the Mile
The economics have demanded that top flight football returns as Covid-19 continues to wreak havoc, but for this special episode we went down the leagues to investigate what happens to a semi-professional club that had its season derailed. It’s a story of community, crisis, hope, human spirit and a fear of the unknown at a club nicknamed The Beavers. They’re managed by a taxi driver, their ground is a mismatched work of art, they've lost all revenue, and their fans are lost without them. For this episode, we teamed up with Gimlet’s We Came to Win, and you can hear their story straight after ours. It’s called The Biological Bomb, and is a chilling look at the origins of a pandemic. GIANT is a Spotify Original made in association with Mundial Magazine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dream Team: Nigeria's Olympic Immortals
In 1996, against a backdrop of socio-political instability, and with the country an international pariah, Nigeria travelled to the USA and spent three weeks shaking up the world. It's the story of how the Golden Generation fulfilled their potential by becoming the first African team to win Olympic gold, how that win gave the suffering population at home hope, and how that legacy was eventually squandered by administrative incompetence. It's full of ridiculous goals, brilliant players, and a coach who helped make it all possible. GIANT is a Spotify Original in association with Mundial. Learn more about your ad choices.
