Martin McKenzie-Murray on the ugly side of football fandom ahead of Euro 2024
The 2024 Euros are just weeks away – with some of the best footballers in the world competing in an event that draws in hundreds of millions of viewers.

Today, journalist Martin McKenzie-Murray reads his piece from this weekend’s edition of The Saturday Paper.
