Review — Football, The People’s Shame: How to Revolutionise a National Sport
A fascinating read on the “theft” of a national sport, and how the “People’s Shame” could be reversed.
Football has always been the people’s game, so how can we reclaim it from the corporations and oligarchs who have stolen it from us?
Micky P Kerr, in “Football, the People’s Shame”Starting with an historical perspective on the (professional) game, and how its governance has diverged so far from the fans, Kerr presents a radical proposal to reclaim the game for the people, and a discussion of the political climate needed to facilitate such a radical change.
I am not an economist or a political scientist, so I don’t feel at all qualified to comment on Kerr’s proposals to reclaim the people’s game. Do read the book!

The Book of Pace — mini review
In spite of its title, and the striking cricket ball seam graphic on the cover, The Book of Pace by Shahbaz Choudhry from The Pace Journal isn’t really a book about fast bowling.
It is a story of personal discovery, of failures and successes, of a striving to achieve. A cautionary tale, in many ways.
And all the better for not being another technically prescriptive “this is how to do it” guide to bowling faster.
It is so much more than that!
