Description

Wherein I am lucky enough to chat with the incredible "Professor Rugby," Dr. Tony Collins, to learn why people have many definitions of what "football" means. This will be Part One of Three. In this ep, I at first say it's to be One of Two, but that was before I saw the actual length of the interview.
Dr. Collins can be found on Twitter @collinstony , and his official site is here: http://www.tonycollins.org/
His fantastic podcast is here, among other places: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rugby-reloaded/id1358627156
Here's a great excerpt from "How Football Began": http://howfootballbegan.net/
And you can shop for any of his great books here: https://www.amazon.com/Tony-Collins/e/B001HCZHAI%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share
I know people are down on Amazon, so if anyone knows a better place to find these titles, absolutely let me know and I'll update this info.
Thanks SO much to Tony, you are a class act!
