Boot Sale: Inside the Strange and Secret World of Football's Transfer Window
เกี่ยวกับหนังสือเสียงเล่มนี้
Brought to you by Penguin.
For football fans who hungrily feed on gossip and rumour, Christmas comes twice a year – once in August and again in January. These are the months when the transfer window dominates thoughts, when the prospect of a new signing or two reinvigorates the hopes and dreams of the hopelessly devoted.
Nige Tassell goes behind the scenes to observe the workings of the transfer window and to examine why it continues to hold such fascination for a nation of football lovers. He speaks to players, managers, chairmen, agents, scouts, analysts, fans, journalists, broadcasters and even bookmakers to hear how they survive – and possibly prosper from – these red-letter months in the football calendar. Completely up to date to include key action from the 2018/19 transfer window.
Nobody writes about football like Nige Tassell: poignant, funny, nostalgic and reminds us why we love the game.
