In this week's second part of the Socially Distant Sports Bar, Elis chooses the documentary of the week. It's Part 1 of the new Netfilx doc all about Jose Mourinho from his beginnings as Bobby Robson's translator at Barcelona to his incredible start at Chelsea. The were of course less successful times to follow. Mike picks the "Book of the Week", "Rugby's Forgotten Black Leader" by Tony Collins which tells the fascinating story of Roy Francis. Born in Cardiff and raised in Brynmawr he ended up playing rugby league for Wigan in the late 1930s, then coaching Hull where he became the first black professional head cocach in any British sport.
