The Football Book Club

The Football Book Club

Forget the latest bestsellers or Booker Prize winners! Our book club gets stuck into the true classics of literature - footballers' autobiographies. Join comedy writers James Bugg, Jack Bernhardt, Natasha Daniels and James Boughen (Horrible Histories, Dead Ringers, Fleabag) as they shun classic prose for ex-pros, by reading another obscure footballer's autobiography every week. Some good, some not so good, some downright baffling. Featuring wild plot twists, not-so dramatic readings and cult heroes galore, The Football Book Club is for people who like their reading a little less Jane Austen, a little more Charlie Austin. As recommended by The Athletic, BBC Five Live and The Sunday Post. Named one of Esquire's best podcasts of 2020. Described as “pretty funny” by Darren Huckerby.
