In this episode, I take a close look at St George and the Flag of Irony, and how it exposes a big contradiction at the heart of flag-waving nationalism. I challenge the idea of who gets to call themselves a patriot, and I remind us that England’s culture, language, and even its flag are the result of centuries of migration. I attempt to make the case that, far from being a threat to national identity, diversity has always been one of its greatest strengths.

In this episode, we sit down with professional footballer Sam Lavelle to explore the journey behind the jersey. From his early beginnings and youth football dreams to his current role as central defender for Grimsby Town, Sam opens up about life on and off the pitch.

We dive into his experiences with managers and teammates, the responsibilities of wearing the captain’s armband, and the realities of training at the highest level. But beyond the game itself, Sam shares what truly matters most to him — his family.

It’s an honest and insightful conversation about the highs and lows of a footballer’s life — moments that go far beyond the ninety minutes on match day.
