Based on the hugely popular 'The Player' columns in FourFourTwo magazine, the book gives a warts-and-all insight into the daily life of professional footballers. Month by month, it chronicles the oscillating rhythms of the season, from the trudge of pre-season to the 'squeaky-bum time' of promotion and relegation. The player himself has played at all levels of English football - from Premier League to a season of non-League - and represented England.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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. Whoever he is-and whatever team he plays for-TSF is always honest, fearless and opinionated. Here he takes readers past the locker-room door and reveals the inner-workings of a professional club, the exhilarating highs and crushing lows and what it's really like to do the job most of us can only dream of doing. TSF 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →'I always knew I wanted to do something in football just like I always knew I wanted to be rich.' So begins this true account from a British football agent currently working at the heart of the English game. From mere coffee boy, to lowly scout, to multi-million pound wheeler dealer with the Big Four and the cream of the clubs in the UEFA Champions League: this book charts The Secret Agent's fast and furious progress through the dressing rooms, board rooms and bedrooms during the most recent days of the premier league. The glamorous field of sports agents was made famous over a decade ago in the Tom Cruise film Jerry Maguire but a romantic comedy this most definitely isn't - The Secret Agent presents the somewhat darker truth that often lies behind that film's most memorable line 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!!' a witty, worrisome, fearless and occasionally heartless account of ambition, greed, and power in a cut -throat and self-obsessed world. This book doesn't just look to lift the lid on today's EPL it tears it off and hurls it across the room. In the recent January transfer window the football world saw over 2,500 transactions take place and spending of close to $350 million - with sums like these involved it is hardly surprising that the beautiful game attracts no shortage of young men quite prepared to break the rules in order to get their share of the spoils.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Welcome to the new edition of the authorised biography on CHARLIE HURLEY; "The Greatest Centre Half the World has Ever Seen." On 19 November 2016 Sunderland fans paid an emotional tribute to a man who had last played for the club over 47 years earlier. That man was 80-year old Charlie Hurley - or King Charlie - whose appearance at the Stadium of Light prior to the match against Hull City was greeted by rapturous applause and cheers from fans, many of whom were far too young ever to have seen him play. Eight years earlier in October 2008 Hurley's appearances at the launch of this book in Sunderland were also greeted with widespread enthusiasm by fans, many of whom told the great man as he signed their book that it was the first they had bought since leaving school many years earlier. At times there was so many people waiting to collect signatures that it was not possible for Charlie Hurley to sign all of them at the time. But everyone who wanted a signature in their book did get one, Charlie made sure of that! Little surprise that the book has gone on to be the best selling Sunderland book this century and has now sold out. Charlie Hurley was voted 'best ever player" at Sunderland and Millwall, two of the three clubs for which he played, even though he did not occupy one of the glamour positions. The man who played forty times for the Republic of Ireland was a centre half but that did not stop the fans from idolising him. As he strode forward to corners in the late 50s and 60s at Roker Park the Sunderland fans used to chant 'Charlie, Charlie, Charlie' in hope and encouragement. This is his story: from his birth in Cork to growing up on the eastern fringes of London. From playing for Millwall, to stardom at Sunderland. He ended his career Bolton Wanderers before taking over as manager at Reading Football was different then, and Mark Metcalf's meticulously researched book shows how players and fans had a different relationship in the days before football clubs became brands and players became millionaires.
