The British Sports Book awards are due to be announced tomorrow (Tuesday) at a luncheon in London. Some of the football books that have been nominated are:
Best autobiography Tommy Docherty: The Doc, My Story — Hallowed Be Thy Game. Gordon Strachan: My Life in Football Paul McGrath: Back from the Brink (Century)
Best biography Sir Alf by Leo McKinstry
In the best football book category are the following: The Perfect 10 by Richard Williams Foul! by Andrew Jennings Sir Alf by Leo McKinstry Behind The Curtain: Travels in Eastern European Football by Jonathan Wilson The England Managers: The Impossible Job by Brian Scovell Floodlit Dreams: How to Save a Football Club by Ian Ridley
Having read and enjoyed Sir Alf, Foul!, and Behind The Curtain: Travels in Eastern European Football it would be hard for me to pick a winner. If I was pushed I would go for Sir Alf by Leo McKinstry.
I am the soccer analyst for the Fox Soccer Report and appear twice a week - every Monday and Friday at 10:00 EST. I have also been a regular contributor to the Fox Soccer Channel website since the summer of 2004. Over the last twenty years I have contributed to various radio and television programs throughout North America as well writing about the game for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Thank you to all who take time to visit this blog and especially to those of you who post your comments and thoughts.
PS - If you have questions please post them on the regular Monday blog. I am unable to answer e mails posted to the inbox on this site.
And one more thing. If you have questions or complaints or compliments about programming please contact Fox Soccer Channel or Fox Sports World Canada directly. I have no control over what the stations televise.
