Now I'm not a football fan at all, give me a good game of rugby any day, but this book appears on the BBC Big Read list and is one I needed to tick off. It actually was not as bad as I thought, it shows its age as some of the sums of money quoted although probably large at the time, seem very small now. It is pretty much how I thought the behind the scenes of a football club would be run if I had to give it any thought and well the players acted like I would expect the to act.

Read for the BBC Top 200 as well as the Popsugar 2018 “book about a sport” prompt. A bit predictable but I enjoyed it.
