I like non-league football and talking about myself so much, I wrote a book about them both. It's funny. Honest.

HI GUYS
Some will know that during the first lockdown, I started writing a book. Finally, it is ready for the world.
It is available NOW in paperback and for Kindle.
I am scared and excited, in that order.

Thank you xx
ALT Front cover for a new book, titled What I Talk About When I Talk About Non-League Football: The trials, tribulations and tipsiness of the ten–year life of a football club called Gresley. Features a stylised football pitch with cartoonish images of a cup of Bovril, a roadsign for Leek, a urinal, an umbrella and a bottle of WKD.
Absolutely delightful to join @MarkSaggers last night to talk through What I Talk About When I Talk About Non-League Football and @GresleyRovers and #nonleaguefootball in general. A real pleasure. Have a watch back here, if you're so inclined:

So, so pleased that she's getting a go in the league. And also delighted to see Gresley mentioned in the papers. That'll do.

What a lovely review this is! I would suggest that if you haven't bought my book yet, this sums up why you should do so fairly well. Now just pop off and buy it, yeah?
If you want a good book about non-league football, @applebamos’s love letter to Gresley Rovers is a great place to start

I always feel like starting with the edges and corners first kind of goes against the spirit of a jigsaw puzzle a bit.

How do we start an appeal to stop Bruce Springsteen nicking most of Chris Martin's food.
Great idiotic questions on inappropriate platforms, coupled with perfectly brief responses, of our time part 1

You know when you're flicking channels and you end up on Great British Menu for a minute and there's a lad getting bollocked because his dish didn't scream Earthworm Jim? Yeah, that.
Some question darts as a sport. Those fools missed an awkward 52-year-old man in specs with a penchant for thumbs-upping demonstrate peak physical performance last night. My guy.

You can tell a town by what it does with its old just-out-of-town coaching inns. Some get painted, do "food" and are busy. Some install two dartboards, sell nothing but Scampi Fries and house three silent, solo drinkers. I'll see you in the latter.
