Football According to Mark Goldbridge

By: Mark Goldbridge

Narrated by: Mark Goldbridge

Brought to you by Penguin.

It doesn't really matter who you support. Football is a cruel, cruel game. All of us fans have had moments of shock, disappointment, and feeling like a right knobhead. We want our teams to play like winners who’ll fight for the badge to their last breath. More often, there's so many clowns on the pitch we think the circus is in town. We've endured abject surrenders in the pissing down rain, watched multi-millionaire managers lose the plot, and signed players who couldn't pass a parcel, all to the sound of Michael Owen's 'expert' analysis. Season after bloody season. It stings so much your team might as well be sponsored by Dettol. Why do we do it to ourselves?

There’s a lot to love I guess. Nothing will ever emulate the high that a major win or seeing your team lift a trophy brings. Take Manchester United winning the treble: footballing perfection. And nothing else will ever come close. Life doesn’t get any better than that.

As I talk you through everything from transfers to trophies to touchline tantrums, join me as I give my definitive take on football. There's a lot to get through, so take my hand like an over-eager mascot and walk with me out of the tunnel into the glaring floodlights of what it means to be a fan…

…and how to survive it.

Goldbridge at his finest

Very entertaining from beginning to end. As Goldbridge explains his football origins, how he fell in love with the sport and Manchester United. Also, classically, getting little digs in at rival clubs along the way.

Honesty and Novelty

Excellent job Mark Goldbridge! Truly encapsulating and insightful! Here’s to wishing you greater success further and beyond…

Footy fans will enjoy this breezy read

I love watching Mark and his book didn’t disappoint
L. A light read though everything that is right and wrong with football with some great nostalgia thrown in. Audio version is great as hear his passion

Goldbridge Gold.

if you're a fan of Mark's content, you won't be disappointed. Simple as. Hoping for more in the future.

Very good

Well worth a listen. Humorous and interesting for all football/soccer fans. Just don’t let young children listen to it as Goldbridge uses some adult language.
