The Football Literary Society

A radio show in which football critics place their favourite footie books on the shelves of my Football Library. Presented by @jonnybrick.
Feel free to browse!

Happy new year all.

It has just come to my attention that @TheFootyLibrary exists. It is in no way affiliated to what I do at @FootieLibrary.

This account is now lying dormant.

With thanks to @StandPublishing for providing a home for dear old Moz Winter, Albion Manager.

Available very soon for something to do at a time when only semi-pro football in England is taking place.

All enquiries to @jonnybrick.

The Library will be on hiatus during the World Cup and will return in 2023. Look out for a novella which my foe @jonnybrick will be plugging this month, published by @StandPublishing.

Otherwise, happy Chanukah and merry Christmas.

For the first time since 1958 (not that you'd know as they don't sing about it much), Wales are off to a World Cup. They were absent in 1978, which is the focus of @RhysWRichards's book Blood on the Crossbar.

@WatfordFC His employers, who also pay you, froze him out after his family moved to the area. You are a cretin.

A victory for MBS that Callum Wilson is the second reserve centre forward. I will await @henrywinter's official verdict on the squad.

Please use the hashtag #ontheplane in the next few hours. Then recommence articles about why these pros are compromised for doing their job.

I wonder what all the journalists are telling their families as they pack burner phones and keepsakes.

Feeling Leeds is a piece of terrific fan literature by Raiford Guins (@guinsraiford), a professor who follows the club from the USA and often visits the UK, where he did his Masters in the 1990s.

Tomorrow, Messi v Ronaldo is published in the UK. It's the follow-up to The Club, @CleggJon and @JoshRobinson23's snapshot of the Premier League at 25.

Both men will be #ontheplane to Qatar for the #WSJ and dropped the book off at the Library this week.

He wants to do all the trials, but the smart thing to do would be to make Boy George, an actual felon, do them.

@JAHeale Yes it'll be called Here's Where The Bodies Are Buried.

@jackbern23 It speaks volumes that his constituency is among the poorest in Britain and THAT is who represents them in SW1.

@LBC @mrjamesob Love to the family!!

The bigger joke is that Qatar are paying Neymar's wages. Stick to the politics, Adam!!

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

That forward line is a joke

5 women? 6 women? And one man (Tom Meighan) who was not nice to women and got kicked out of his band.

@MrHarryCole Where are the bodies buried, H? You must know.

A one-man Library who will boost the 920s (memoirs).

[John Smith @verypopularname]

Here's me with some of the books I've poured into 'Final Third! The Last Word on our Football Heroes'.

Please enjoy trying to spot some of them and don't photoshop loads of right wing material in instead.

Cheers.

Stand by for some DMs if you're on my list for an exciting project connected to the Library!

[The Football Literary Society @FootieLibrary]

Close Quarters by @Neil_Harman57 rivals Family by Mike Calvin as the best embedded football journalism ever written.

Neil's ironically titled memoir In My Own Words is out today and he drops by the Library to celebrate.
