It Started With a Kick Episode 113 : Luis Miguel Echegaray

This week’s guest is the very first Peruvian on this pod so a warm welcome Luis Miguel Echegaray and although Luis has been a football writer, broadcaster and analyst for many years I first came across him during this summer’s World Cup when he appeared on 5Live’s Breakfast in America programme with another podcast guest Steve Crossman. Luis’ enthusiasm not just for the pancakes being served but also for football was infectious and allied to his in-depth knowledge, he became a must for this podcast. 

Luis is an Aston Villa fan and we will come on to quite how a boy from Lima ended up supporting the Villa in a while but as ever we are going to start with the first match Luis attended which unfortunately had a tragic background. In a similar way to Superga and the Munich Air disaster, there was a plane crash that led to the whole team of Alianza Lima being killed.
