A Football Odyssey - Passion, Politics & The Beautiful Game - published by @Ofmooseandmen June 12th 2026.
Available in shops (including @Waterstones) and online now. #football #books
A Football Odyssey might have landed in the bookshops but the journey continues.
Can anybody recognise today’s destination? #football #travel #groundhopping
Just getting my bearings late at night in Ljubljana and there’s a bar playing Bizarre Love Triangle. Has to be done…..
Managed to squeeze in an impromptu book signing at @Waterstones Arndale on my way through Manchester today. @Waterstones have been big supporters of ‘A Football Odyssey’ and, over a month and a half after publication, it’s still a buzz to see it on their shelves. #books #football

Earth calling INEOS…..
Tornike Kvaratskhelia is 16 and started his first game for Dinamo Tbilisi last night in the Conference League. He plays exactly like someone you know very well and who is 9 years older and also a left winger!! This is incredible.

Swiss fan culture is a little bit bonkers and you can read all about it (including chapters dedicated to YB and Servette) in A Football Odyssey - available in @Waterstones, independent book shops across the UK and from all the major online retailers. 📕
Coursework just left the door open for industrial level cheating.
Controlled Assessment was a decent halfway house but sadly some schools still couldn’t resist the urge to cheat.
My solution? Clamp down on the cheats and bring back modular assessment + controlled assessment.
Full story here. Real question for Government is if the new “tough” GCSEs are such a gold standard why are top private schools avoiding them? Answer, practical, coursework based qualifications equip students for future better. theguardian.com/education/20…

Dear @andyburnham
Congrats on the new job.
Can you have a shufty at the independent publishing sector.
Support needed.
We all do a lot of the heavy lifting in finding great new talent, developing writers to then see them leave as the big five move in.
Ta, Kevin & Heth.
Kevin Keegan was a genuine icon whose legacy transcended sport and spanned generations. RIP.

Watching two fairly mediocre sides labour through a relatively dull final makes me even more annoyed with Thomas Tuchel. And, no, I’m not over it.
Both of these belong on your bookshelf. Outstanding.
The Greatest show on earth.
@jonawils depicted Argentinian football soul and history like no other.
Pasión captures the heart and soul of Spanish football.
There's really no winners or loosers, just football.
