Not by the Playbook - Kurt Landauer: The Father of Modern day Bayern Munich

Download Kurt Landauer: The Father of Modern day Bayern Munich

The success of Bayern Munich can be traced all the way back to an almost forgotten figure in German football - their longest serveing president Kurt Landauer. For years Kurt's story, including escaping the Nazi's, was barely known. We talk to historian and screenwriter Dirk Kamper who has helped his story get the recognition it deserves.

Former NFL quarterback Marc Bulger has joined forces with three other former gridiron stars to take on Curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Alongside Jared Allen, Keith Bulluck and Michael Roos - Bulger decided to adopt the sport as the result of a bet. The four now have a serious desire to become Olympians. Plus, another athlete switching disciplines - Omar Hasan has been talking to our reporter in Toulouse, Chris Bockman, about his journey from international rugby to opera singing.
