Episode 39: Di Stefano by Ian Hawkey

⚽ The Dynamo Football Book Club Podcast — Episode 39: Di Stéfano

We kick off our rebrand as The Dynamo Football Book Club with a book about a real legend Di Stéfano by Ian Hawkey.

 

Alfredo Di Stéfano — the Blonde Arrow 🏹 — won the first five European Cups 🏆 with Real Madrid, played for three national teams 🌍, and lived a life packed with drama: a Venezuelan kidnapping 🕵️, 514 career goals ⚽, and a near-marriage to a woman 50 years his junior 💍.

 

This episode blends football history with Cold War intrigue, featuring cameos from a young García Márquez ✍️, Che Guevara 🧳, and a future King of Spain 👑.

 

🎧 If you like football books, wild biographies, and the golden age of the game — this podcast is for you.
