I love football - Hunter Davies

Hunter Davies' account of his passion takes us through his experiences with some of the biggest names in the game - including George Best, Gazza and Dwight Yorke - and his memories of some of the most exciting matches played over the past 40 years. His personal story provides an insight into why football is the world's most popular sport. He explains the origins of the game, advises on collecting memorabilia, outlines the history of Wembley stadium and analyses his love of World Cups, including England's famous victory in 1966 (he was there).
With his ability to get to the core of his topic in a clear and succinct manner, Hunter Davies is ideally suited to the adult literacy market and his vast experience in the world of football, together with the timing of the 2006 World Cup, will help make I Love Football a great success when the initiative is launched on World Book Day 2006.
