The secret footballer (1 Viewer)

[oldskyblue58]

Have been reading "I am the Secret Footballer". Interesting perspective on the modern game, might dispell a few myths. Certainly makes you think things are not what they seem to be in the game

Anyone else read it?

Have no idea who he is

also did a little googling and there is a website http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/

Read it last year. Decent enough read, but most of the material had been covered in the articles.

I don't think it's one footballer, but a collection of players meaning it can cover more incidents

Read it too. I reckon it's Danny Murphy

Yeah, read the majority of it last year. Some interesting insights.

I like the bit where they try to out spend some Spanish players on drinks in.a club and I think it ends up in 6 figures....crazy

how about another prospective author / angle,
'i am the secret investor in a hedge fund who bought a football club'

Have also just started to read this. on the back of I Am Zlatan (brilliant book!)

Having actually had a meal with Danny Murphy, i'm inclined to suggest otherwise. the guy seemed very removed when I meet him. I'm only a couple of chapters in but this does seem to be a "LESSER" footballer?

This is a good site: http://www.whoisthesecretfootballer.co.uk/

How about you try to keep the thread on topic and stop trying to make everything about SISU?

I read somewhere it could be Dave Kitson.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I've heard a few people say its Kevin Davies......

...I'm pretty sure its NOT Wayne Rooney!

Whoever it is has experienced promotion to the PL, he mentioned it when he did an article about Readings promotion a couple of seasons ago.

I've just ordered the book, hopefully it will be a good read.

 

[oldskyblue58]

I am about half way through reading ....... its decent enough, lots of small stories about characters in game really

Good section at the end about agents and what they do for the players.

I got this for my kindle at the beginning of the summer for 99p. Not got round to it yet.

Another good one is Far From The Massive Crowds about non-league football.

its a good read

was half price at WHSmith in the airport so bought it.

I'm surprised it might only be one person as it wont take much working out (so could well be Kitson)
