Author: Nick Hornby
Hornby’s memoir of a life organised around Arsenal fixtures is the book that showed football writing could be funny, honest and literary. Any fan who has let a result ruin a weekend will recognise themselves. It was praised from the start: GQ called it “tears-running-down-your-face funny” and The New Yorker described Hornby as “a maestro of the male confessional”. Its success helped open the door for a whole generation of football books that followed. Best for: supporters of any club, and a safe first football book or gift.
