01:00:00I was lucky enough to chat with Dylan O'Connell about his recently released book "The Ajax Way". It traces the club's rise as a social hub for the people of Amsterdam to the creation of a team that would win three consecutive European Cups in the early 1970s; and added a fourth in 1995 under Louis Van Gaal. It reveals a host of footballing greats - players and coaches - who have been undoubtedly influenced by Ajax, from early-day pioneers through to current-day icons Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp. Packed with tactical insight and social history, it is a story that spans three centuries and stretches across the globe, but at its core is Ajax Amsterdam and its roster of stars.It's available to buy now.Champions Cup Special with Ed Coy Northampton Saints Fan
