2022/11/04

The Roaring Red Front is a football travelogue with lashings of beer. Stewart, a writer for newspaper the Morning Star, and Vincent, a writer and bon viveur heard on the Deserter Pubcast, globetrot to Argentina, Spain, Italy, the USA, St Pauli and Dulwich in search of clubs with leftwing ideals.

Matt Clough Returns

jonny_brick ·

2022/11/03

Bolton fan Matt has written a book on The Match of the Century, when Hungary came to Wembley Stadium and destroyed England 6-3. He places the game in the context of the times, in which the Mighty Magyars lost one game (the 1954 World Cup final) in four years and England were still recovering from a torrid first World Cup appearance in 1950 Find the book here: www.thehistorypress.co.uk/publication/the-match-of-the-century/9780750998147/

Jon Driscoll Returns

2022/11/02

Middlesbrough fan Jon returns to the Library to promote his investigation into the soul of football in England, Get It Kicked! Has football changed for the worse or for the better? There are better surfaces and a continental approach to tactics, and the international team are reaching World Cup semi-finals. Yet ‘kick it long’ has its advocates too.

Paul Moulden

2022/10/31

Manchester City youth product Paul Moulden is still best known for the 340 goals he scored for Bolton Lads Club before he became a professional. He was, to use the title of his memoir, Lethal. His three sons have all followed Paul and his dad into the game. Two of them have inherited Paul’s bad luck with injuries, which cost the striker his career. Before he had to retire, he played for Oldham Athletic and Bournemouth, but enjoyed a few seasons at Bacup Borough while he ran Paul’s Chippy. Find

Born in Lincoln, Dick started as an administrator at Lincoln City in the era of Graham Taylor. He then worked as Club Secretary at both clubs in Sheffield, United and Wednesday, taking on pretty much every non-coaching role including marketing, matchday affairs and convening board meetings. In collaboration with Wednesday fan John Dyson, Dick’s memoir Football – An Insider’s Job pulls back the proverbial curtain on football in the pre-Premier League era. Find the book here:

David Proudlove

jonny_brick ·

2022/10/17

Stoke City fan David has made a living looking at the use of land. It is entirely appropriate that his book, When The Circus Leaves Town, takes as its subject the move from one stadium to another by a panoply of football clubs. What is gained and lost when a club, such as Stoke themselves in 1997, take their ball into a brand new cathedral?

Sheffield Wednesday fan John was the 13th person to chat to me back in June 2020. Since then his beloved Owls have dropped into the third tier and bounced back to the Championship. More significantly, John has written a book about the 1984-86 period where, under Howard Wilkinson, Wednesday were Back in the Big Time.

Watford fan Geoff was in charge of 100 Years at Vicarage Road, a celebration of a century of games at the humble stadium next to Watford General Hospital.

Chelsea fan Neil has put together a list of The Great Uncrowned: teams which never won a big tournament but who remain legends of their time despite being ‘celebrated losers’.

John Smith Returns

jonny_brick ·

2022/09/23

I applaud those who read football books, but John Smith has gone the extra 12 yards. Following Booked and Second Yellow, Final Third! completes the trilogy of tomes from West Ham fan John. From forewords to boardroom members via holidays and backroom staff, John has read over 300 books so we don’t have to, filleting the best anecdotes and themes from the football memoir. Allegedly this is the ‘last word on our football heroes’ but, as John says, ‘there’s always extra time’… Find the book here:
