Trade Review
Warm and celebratory but also sharp and insightful, The Bottom Corner is a love letter to non-league football that is also a vivid snapshot of its place in our national life -- Stuart Maconie
Not since The Football Man has a book so captured the passion of the game. The Bottom Corner is a wonderful journey through life in the lower reaches of the football pyramid. A fascinating tale of a very different world of football from that of the overpaid stars of the television age. -- Barry Davies
Extraordinary -- Danny Baker
Excellent -- Andrew Collins (Classic FM, UKTV, Radio Times)
An entertaining exploration of the quirks, commitment and romance of football away from the pumped-up bluster of the top flight. -- Ed Wilson * When Saturday Comes *
