In the latest episode of *By Far The Greatest Team*, hosts Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney take us on a journey back to the early 20th century, where they dissect Great Britain's double gold medal triumphs in the 1908 and 1912 Olympic Games. As always, their conversation is a delightful blend of historical insight and light-hearted banter.
They start by discussing the broader history of football in the Olympics, touching on the complexities of Great Britain's representation in the Games. Graham and Jamie also reminisce about the nostalgic TV show *Going for Gold*, with its iconic theme song composed by none other than Hans Zimmer, and share some fun facts about defunct Olympic sports like tug-of-war and hot air ballooning.
The core of the episode focuses on the GB Olympic football team, which dominated the 1908 and 1912 tournaments. The hosts explore the controversies surrounding these events, including the walkovers in 1908 and the competitive spirit of the 1912 final against Denmark, where GB secured a 4-2 victory. They delve into how these triumphs have been overshadowed in history, despite the team's pioneering role in Olympic football.
The episode wraps up with a thoughtful discussion on the place of football in the Olympic Games, reflecting on how these early successes set the stage for future generations. Tune in for an insightful and entertaining deep dive into a lesser-known chapter of football history.
