Let Me Introduce Myself

I write about the stories of football that rarely make headlines but helped shape the game we know today.

It took me over 7 years to complete this book. Hours of research, reading, and reflection went into creating a story that offers a deeper understanding of this globally loved sport. This book is only the beginning. More work is already underway to share the forgotten chapters of football’s past.

Want A Sneak Peek?

The book traces the history of football from its early days to today’s UEFA Champions League, showing football’s journey in all its glory and its flaws.

The author doesn’t praise blindly. Readers will see successes, failures, and uncomfortable truths that will leave them questioning the game they thought they knew.

While almost all areas of my book have been covered no one has done a full history like I have. The full history of the competition which have been written focus on celebration rather than the darker side like mine.
