It's My Story: Jim Riordan

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Alexei Smertin , Chelsea FC's Siberian-born midfielder, was loaned to Portsmouth last season, the first Russian to play for the team. There he was guided through the complexities of English life by Jim Riordan , the only man to have played for a Soviet team. Over the course of a tumultuous season, Jim and Alexei find they are united by football but divided by recent Russian history. Producer Mark Burman
