 ... book is available in all good shops, I bought it on Charing Cross Road in a really good second hand bookstore for 99p, it wasn´t the book i´d gone into the store to buy but nonetheless a juicy football book is always good in my opinion. It is 400 pages long and was released in 2006. In essence this book is an expose of the kind of things that go on at the heart of the Football´s governing body, it is political, cut throat and really does get your goat if you truly love football and pay money to watch it and then ...more
