With a career in English football going all the way back to 1967, Neil Warnock has traveled to every corner of the country. In his 2013 book, The Gaffer – The Trials and Tribulations of a Football Manager, Warnock outlines his view of the football world. It’s an old fashion view, in many respects, but a romantic one too.

Less an autobiography than an insight into the day-to-day running of a Championship/Premier League team, the book covers Warnock’s likes (wingers, Scott Parker, his son William, the British Monarchy) and dislikes (Shaun Wright Philips, Graham Poll, the design of the Premier League trophy).

Tune in to find out more about what it is that makes football’s most dislikeable looking man tick and find out what Al and Johnny made of Warnock's offering to the literary canon.

James Milner's first appearance in the Premier League was as a substitute for Manchester United's new technical director, Jason Wilcox. He is that bloody old. 634 Premier League appearances later, he may soon takeover Gareth Barry as the player with the most appearances of all.

In 2019, he wrote Ask a Footballer, which is not so much an autobiography as it is a collection of thoughts - musings even - on the life of a Premier League footballer.

Ultimately, the thing that most people interested in this book want to know is, is James Milner as boring as they say. Tune in for Episode 14 to find out.

In Episode 13 we read about the life and times of the chicken licking, Marseilles fan kicking, Patrice Evra.

Born in Senegal, one of 24 children (not a typo), and raised in the meanest streets of Paris, Evra won five Premier Leagues with Manchester United and two Scudettos with Juventus. He also has the less enviable accolade of being the player who has lost the most ever Champions League finals taking (but not taking home) four losers medals to go with the one winners medal he got for beating Chelsea on that famous night in Moscow in 2008.

Published in 2008, ghost written by Andy Mitten (from Britain), the book is called I Love This Game. Is it an edge of the box belter against Bayern of a book or more like the botched circumcision that the young Patrice once endured. Listen to find out.
