2022/09/05

Birmingham City fan Jon returns as the 250th separate conversation, bringing an Armchair Guide to the Qatar World Cup taking place while the Library is closed over December.

Spencer Vignes Returns

jonny_brick ·

2022/08/29

Brighton fan Spencer hit upon a story when he was talking to record-equalling goalkeeper Eric Gill. Eric told him that he was playing bowls with Dave Hollins, who had also played for Brighton in the 1960s, and Spencer couldn’t believe his luck. He has told the story of Eric and Dave in his new book, which takes readers back to the days of retain and transfer. It is a fine addition to goalkeeping literature. Find the book here:

Carlisle United fan Roger has just published a memoir of his time as a local journalist, Panic As Man Burns Crumpets. It follows a look at statues around the UK called On A Pedestal. In 2004, Roger helped goalkeeper Jimmy Glass write his book One Hit Wonder, centred around the moment Glass will always be remembered for: scoring a last-minute goal to keep Carlisle in the Football League and, some say, in existence.

Ryan Hills Returns

2022/08/22

Derby fan Ryan has already written a book on the last 20 years of his beloved club. He returns to talk about Groundwork, which focuses on the period just before that when Jim Smith made the club a stable Premier League side. Steve McClaren was a fine assistant manager at Jim’s side, while top international talent like Igor Stimac and Paolo Wanchope were automatic starters alongside Rory Delap, Lee Carsley and Christian Dailly.

Kit Holden

2022/08/19

Based in Berlin, Kit has been writing about German football for a decade for various publications and websites. In that time Union Berlin have become a top-level Bundesliga club and will enter the Europa League in the 2022/23 season. In 2005, they were in the fifth tier but climbed the divisions through discipline and a strong fan ownership. Kit has documented this rise in his book Scheisse!

Phil McNulty & Jim White

jonny_brick ·

2022/08/15

Manchester United fan Jim returns and brings his Oxford neighbour Phil McNulty, who is the Chief Football Writer for the BBC Sport website, making him one of the most-read football critics in the world. Though he grew up in Liverpool and his wife is a massive Red, Phil is neutral. Red on Red is a book about what many would call the Phil Chisnall Derby, named after the last player to move directly between the two clubs on the M62 motorway. Since then, both sides have had dominant eras but have

Rocco Dean Returns

jonny_brick ·

2022/08/08

For his third book on his beloved Leeds United, Rocco takes the reader back to a time after O’Leary but before Bielsa. League One Leeds reminds us of the lowest ebb of the team’s recent history, where they played in the third tier for three years between 2007 and 2010. Scunthorpe, Crewe, Yeovil, Hereford and Carlisle were some of the towns the former Champions League semi-finalists went to. Simon Grayson eventually helped the club to promotion, while players like Jermaine Beckford, Robert

His What Was Football Like… collection summarises English football across four decades from the 1960s, inspired by his grandson Charlie’s desire to know about the game’s past.

Writer and Liverpool fan Stuart has summarised the 30 years of the Premier League with a set of players who make up the Cornerstone Collection. Stuart picks a player from every club to have played in the division, eschewing convention to go for less heralded players. In no other book celebrating the Premier League will you find eulogies to George Burley’s Ipswich Town, the Bolton and Charlton sides of Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley and players ranging from Gunnar Halle, Robert Huth, David

Daniel chronicles the big teams of each era and the move of the tournament to Tokyo, when it became the Toyota Cup and presaged the development of FIFA’s own Club World Championships.

His Masters thesis took punditry as its theme, while he has worked on social media teams for tournaments including the Premier League.

Matt Evans

jonny_brick ·

2022/07/11

When the World Cup came to the USA, Matt was enraptured. A fan of Ipswich Town who grew up watching his local club Wrexham, his first book tells the tale of the tournament ‘that changed the game’. It was a World Cup where Matt’s beloved Roberto Baggio missed the deciding kick, where OJ Simpson’s arrest overshadowed the opening week and where Oleg Salenko scored five goals in a game. The events that led to the USA winning the right to host the tournament are a book in themselves, and Matt is a fine
