I Am The Secret Footballer: Lifting the Lid on the Beautiful Game

by Anonymous - £8.99  Guardian Faber Publishing (2013)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781783350049 | ISBN 10: 1783350040

This updated edition of the bestselling and wildly popular I Am the Secret Footballer features a new introduction and an additional chapter.
 
The anonymous writer of The Guardian's "Secret Footballer" column gives Premiere League fans an insider's look into the unseen world of professional football.
 
It is often said that 95% of what happens in football takes place behind closed doors.
  Many of these stories I shouldn't be telling you.
  But I will.

 
Who is The Secret Footballer? Only a few people know the true identity of the man inside the game. But whoever he is - and whoever he plays for - he is always honest, fearless and opinionated. Here he reveals everything you need to know about the hidden world of professional football, and what it's really like to do the job that most of us can only dream of.
 
TFS chronicles the exploits of his Premiership colleagues with a gimlet eye and frank humour. Managers, agents and players are not spared from his observations-their mindsets, their relationships with those outside the sport, their behaviour good and bad.
 
In his inimitable style, TSF recounts entertaining and eyebrow-raising vignettes, naming names and dropping colourful details along the way.
