What's the best book about football yet to be written?
|
|
Just finished a couple of major writing projects and putting together some ideas for the future.
I've always avoided writing about sport professionally, because so much journalism and literature on the subject is hackneyed or cliched into parody.
But I do still like reading quality football coverage (Simon Kuper etc - although he's begun to disappear up his own backside).
You lot are a informed bunch when it comes to football (well, some of you anyway). So what's the best/most interesting book about football - or sport - that has yet to be written or covered? And why the fuck haven't you written it yet?
All suggestions welcome - even the shit, pithy ones that will inevitably follow...

Not sure what the final form of the book would look like, but this video could certainly provide a decent baseline.

About the blazers and the association's of the FA, how they held back the development of football at grass roots level due to their old fashioned and obstinate views. How it took a visionary like Sir Trev to kick-start the evolution of our England teams.
