Books by David Squires

In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football's overblown balloon.Funny, good-looking and preternaturally astute, this book is everything Sepp Blatter wishes he could be.

From the ever-dizzying managerial roundabout to the absurd world of the transfer window, and from the true meaning of 'football heritage' to the annual tradition of poppygate, the result is a riotous reminder both of everything that's wrong with the modern game, and everything that keeps us coming back for more.
