How Crystal Palace & the WICB came to be – with David Last & Terry Doherty – Ep. 120

Hoopsfix Podcast - British Basketball with Sam Neter

For episode 120 of the Hoopsfix Podcast we sit down with legends of the game David Last and Terry Doherty, the masterminds behind Crystal Palace basketball club.

Crystal Palace, one of the most successful clubs in the UK through the 1970's and 80's, were known for being one of the first programs to have a fully integrated pathway from juniors through to seniors, being responsible for a number of top English talents.

In this long-form conversation we go into the history of the club, and also the founding of the World Invitational Club Basketball (WICB) Championships - one of the top international club tournaments that has existed.
