Episode notes

Welcome to the first Fantasista! The Number 10 podcast episode. In the first episode Jimmy Areabi investigates Spain's different relationship with the No.10 shirt, by speaking with journalist/broadcaster Graham Hunter and (former Barcelona, Liverpool FC and current Manchester City) coach Rodolfo Borrell.
The inspiration for the episode (and the interviews which were recorded in 2013) was taken from Jimmy's Fantasista10.co.uk article: Does Spain Have An Affinity With The Number 10 Shirt? Despite now having a plethora of playmakers the country hasn't had superstars associated to the Number 10 like their Latin counterparts have - why?

A huge thanks to Graham Hunter (@BumperGraham) and Rodolfo Borrell for their valuable time and help, and to Spanish Football Historian Angel Iturriaga (@anituarco) for providing me with some valuable research and support.
