Books

“Book of the week” – Mail on Sunday

“A new bestseller” – The Times

“A humorous look at the way the two halves of the population approach the game… teasing out these differences in a gentle and amusing way." – 442

“A horrible little book” Alison Rudd, The Times

These kind words relate to Everything A Girl Needs To Know About Football (A&C Black, £6.99), which I wrote with Sophie Brown in 2005. According to the blurb it’s: “A funny, smart and informative novelty/gift book that will give girls a crash course on the rules, lingo and etiquette of the world's favourite sport. If you're the type of girl who can nip to the pub loo and stop for a chat in front of the big screen in the 89th minute of a game – without realising that you've done anything wrong – then this book's for you. If you're a man whose partner interrupts crucial matches with questions about 'what those flags in the corners of the field are for', then you need to buy her this book.”

They do say don’t judge a book by its cover, so if you click on the PDF icon below you can read a chapter and make your own mind up. Or, you could always click the big green button to buy it (at a special discounted rate).

I’m currently working on two further books, to be published in 2007.
