Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'A new kind of football writing developed - passionate, disrespectful, self-mocking, yet steeped in personal bias. In book form, young writers such as Nick Hornby and Pete Davies became to the New Football Writing what Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson had been to the New Journalism' Terence Blacker, Sunday Times
About the Author
Nick Hornby was born in 1957 and worked as a teacher before becoming a full time writer. He lives in north London.
