Good summary by Eanna.
I recommend 'Morbo' and 'White Storm' by Phil Ball (an English journo who's lived in the Pais Vasco for many years).
My Dad met Santiago Bernabeu once, in 1975. Real were playing Derby in the EC (5-1, 1-4) and SB gave plenty of tickets to the expat Brit community. He was about 80 then and a bit of a grandee, but nice gesture.
The old man went for a **** at half-time, couldn't get back in, spent the rest of the game chatting and drinking with the US![]()
