The Football Book Club Podcast Series 2

Hi everyone! Just wanted to post about our new series of The Football Book Club which launched this week.

The show is a football comedy podcast which has been recommended by BBC 5 Live, The Athletic, The Sunday Post and was named one of Esquire’s Best Podcasts of 2020. It features a book club made up of myself and fellow comedy writers James Boughen, Jack Bernhardt and Natasha Daniels but – instead of reading literary classics – each week we read another obscure footballer’s autobiography. Here’s a trailer!

We kicked off the new series reading Liverpool and Poland goalkeeping legend Jerzy Dudek’s ‘A Big Pole In Our Goal’. You can listen below! Throughout the series we’ll be reading many more cult heroes’ books, with a new episode released every Monday.

Hope you enjoy! The podcast is available on all podcast apps and you can subscribe by clicking here. We’re also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram if you’d like to follow us there.

David Batty's brilliantly bizarre 'My Autobiography' ft. Adam Clery – Football Book Club

Ninety books in and we *may* have found the greatest, most sinister, and downright bonkers autobiography yet – as we read former Leeds, Newcastle and England hero David Batty's incredible 2001 book 'My Autobiography'. And reading it with us is The Independent's very own tactical mastermind & Newcastle superfan, the brilliant Adam Clery.Featuring David's childhood love of the Yorkshire Ripper, his extremely unhealthy relationship with his dad's diary, Kevin Keegan having a breakdown, David James punching people in his sleep, why David will never have a bank card or an email address, and why he wasn't fussed when he missed the penalty that sent England out of the World Cup. Plus naked cinema pranks and a complete breakdown of all the countries David hated visiting.In Adam's words, it's Patrick Bateman meets Alan Partridge. And it's a cracker.Want an exclusive, bonus Book Club episode every week?
