Description

Globetrotter Steve grew up in Essex and has travelled the world watching football and he boasts a letter from Brian Glanville, his colleague at World Soccer magazine.

The Away Leg is a new book with contributions from 11 football writers, with a foreword from David Goldblatt. In the absence of freelance work, Steve and James Montague rounded up friends and colleagues who tell stories from every corner of the planet, including France (Harry Pearson and Molly Hudson, 20 years apart), North Korea (an astonishing tale from James), South America (Andrew Downie), Palestine (Arik Rosenstein) and Georgia (Steve himself).

Proceeds from the book go to Community Integrated Care. Find it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Away-Leg-Football-Stories-Road/dp/1785319876/
