118: Mihir Bose and Humphrey Hawksley - The Goldster Magazine Show Podcast

Mihir Bose face and voice became known to millions after he won the job as the BBC’s first non-white sports editor building on his earlier reputation as a sports correspondent on The Telegraph and Sunday Times. Among his latest books is Thank You Mr Crombie – a tribute to the Home Office official who allowed him to settle in Britain and pursue his career and dream. Mihir compellingly tells how Britain has taken enormous strides to create a multi-racial society since the days in the Sixties when landlords refused to rent him a room. 

Another recent book is Dreaming the Impossible: The Battle to Create a Non-Racial Sports World. His characters run from players and coaches to boardroom executives in a fascinating story which takes us deeply inside the world of sport giving us glimpses that we would never see on Match of the Day. 

There is very little Mihir does not know about the money, the sweat, manipulation and how sport binds people and communities together.
