Trade ReviewWarm 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 *
