For anyone interested in the trials and tribulations behind the scenes of professional football. As a lifelong football fan who had stumbled across previous articles written by The Secret Footballer, finding that a local bookstore in Canada had this in stock was a treat. Having not read the first, it was no impediment to enjoying this book but furthered the thought that I should have purchased both this and the first book before now. Tales from the Secret Football (2013) is the follow up to the 2012 book I am the Secret Footballer. The book is a collection of newer columns from the writer about the inside world of football. This time the book looks more at the author’s depression and options for an aging player to continue making money. The book is not nearly as strong as the previous one. It’s not terrible and if you have read the first and enjoyed reading that it might be worth reading.
Unfortunately I think this horse has been thoroughly flogged, two books is one too many.

Not as good as the first but a decent quick read none the less.
