Irish Dave is back for a recap of the major stories in Polish Sports. Since we last talked Iga Świątek had her run in the Australian Open ended by the eventual champion, Madison Keys.

This week we take a look back at Polish Football's greatest ever night 52 years ago beneath the Twin Towers of the old Wembley. It was when Kazimierz Górski's Eagles led by Brian Clough's favourite clown Jan Tomaszewski put the Three Lions on their tails and started a decade of glorious success. Ever since we have dreamt of emulating that night and…
