Whose Game Is It Anyway? : Football, Life, Love & Loss Hardback
by Michael Calvin
Hardback
Description
Football has never seemed so distant from its fans.
Many have been alienated by the greed and shameless self-interest of the Premier League, and no one can predict how the global game will look post-pandemic.
In Whose Game Is It Anyway?, Sunday Times best-selling author Michael Calvin searches for a reason to believe.
Written at the height of the Covid-19 crisis, the book is a thought-provoking, deeply personal account of the role sport - and particularly football - plays in everyday life.
Part memoir, part manifesto, it takes the reader on a tour of the world's greatest sporting occasions and into its outposts in sub-Saharan Africa, the Amazon Basin and the Southern Ocean.
Drawn from Calvin's experience as an award-winning sportswriter, covering every major sports event over 40 years in more than 80 countries, it offers first-hand insight into such icons as Muhammad Ali, Maradona and Sir Bobby Charlton.
With settings ranging from a jungle clearing to a township in apartheid South Africa, this is sport as you've never seen it before.
