Football careers of Southampton's Basque evacuee children remembered

Two child evacuees of the Spanish Civil War, who later became professional footballers, are being remembered 85 years after arriving in the UK.

Sabino Barinaga and Raimundo Perez Lezama were among 4,000 Basque children who left Bilbao for Britain in 1937.

Their football talents were spotted while they stayed in Southampton.

More than a dozen of the young refugees went on to play professionally and are the focus of a new exhibition by Spanish club Athletic Bilbao.

On 26 April 1937 the small Basque town of Guernica was targeted by Franco's Nationalist forces - supported by the German and Italian air forces - in one of the most infamous actions of the Spanish Civil War.
