Award-winning author of The Nowhere Men, Living on the Volcano and No Hunger in Paradise returns with his magnum opus on the state of modern football

Now in State of Play, in what marks the pinnacle of a career investigating the human stories of football, award-winning writer Michael Calvin turns his eye to the biggest story of all - the game itself.


From mental health to money, concussion to Champions league, fan-owners to oligarchs, women''s football to world cups, Calvin gets under the skin of the beautiful game, and reveals why it is truly the game of our lives.
