Thanks for having me on @BobRutler. Loved chatting about ‘Cutting the Mustard’. You can hear my thoughts on the commercialisation of football from about 30 minutes in. Still time to come to the book launch (or buy the book). More at #NCFC.

A thread to follow below. You certainly don’t have to be a #NCFC fan to enjoy this book, but, to appreciate it properly, you probably do need to have an understanding of the profound role that football plays in many people’s lives ⬇️.
As writer friends will know, it's quite hard to write a novel, and it's even harder to get it published. I don't think I made things easy for myself when I set out to write a literary novel about a couple of taciturn men in the stands of (basically) @NorwichCityFC's stadium.

You can trace the commercialisation of English football back over 50 yrs. 'Cutting the Mustard' tells the story in well-researched text & images. Check what the experts say about the book at Launches on 6 Aug. Available until then at presale special price

So pleased you can make it, George. It should be a fun event. Lots of interest already and looking forward to hearing your and others' take on how the commercialisation of our game has affected #NCFC @ffion_.
My Carrow Road debut is coming belatedly - and not because of my football skills. Still, I'm still delighted to have been asked to take part in the launch of Cutting The Mustard by Robin Ireland (@robinHEG). CR, 6th August, 7pm. One for NCFC fans.

The Club World Cup is over. An advertisement for sport as entertainment product. How did Chelsea even qualify never mind win it - now they're £100m+ better off. 'Our' game wasn't always like this. Read 'Cutting the Mustard' to see how football was sold to the highest bidders.

If you’re writing a serious book about football, you need access to research material. I am curious to know whether other football clubs have published such a rich source of data as the Norwich City Historical Trust’s archive.
