On this special end of year show, we spoke to Brendan of allsportsbooks.reviews about one of the absolute classics of the sportsbook Genre, "The Miracle of Castel di Sangro" by Joe McGinniss. Along the way, we discussed what makes a good sportsbook story, some of the best books of 2020 and the attraction of Italian football in the 1990s.The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is the account by American writer Joe McGinniss, a new disciple to Calcio, of the first season that the tiny Abruzzo club spent in Serie B. Told in vivid detail, it brings to life this underdog story and the tumultuous season that McGinniss spent with the team. We were delighted that Brendan was able to join us to discuss this fascinating story, and believe that you'll enjoy listening too. *Spoiler alert* It's impossible to discuss this book without bringing up the ending, so we encourage all listeners that want to avoid spoilers to finish the book before listening.
