An interview with Charlie Lambert - the former face of sport on the BBC's 'Northwest Tonight', as well as being a former journalist and broadcaster on national and local radio - on his research into  'lost' sport in the Liverpool area. Amongst other things you'll find out:
*Why women's football was killed off
* Just how popular Greyhound boxing used to be
* How long-gone stadia produced world championships in Speedway and Ice-skating, and
* The name of a crucially important sports' benefactor, who you've probably never heard of.
Recorded at Crosby library, just after Charlie had given a fascinating talk at the library there.
If you've any interest in sport in the region , or in local history, this is for you!
