Richard Hough: Hellas Verona's 1985 Scudetto, the cult heroes of 'I Gialloblù' and the brilliance of the battered Bentegodi
In fair Verona we lay our scene for this week’s episode, as we were joined by Richard Hough. Richard has lived in Verona for the past 15 years and is a season ticket holder at Hellas Verona. His love for the club led to him writing the book ‘Verona Campeone: the Miracle of 85’ which came out this year - a book chronicling the team that won an unlikely Scudetto in 1985. We talked about the book, some of the great characters to feature for Hellas Verona for that Scudetto triumph - and over the years since - and why Bentegodi is a great place to watch football, even if the stadium is a bit battered and ruined.
You can find Richard on X at @richard_hough and on BlueSky at @rickhough.bsky.social.
