I have an essay in here about heavyweight tragedy Ernie Schaaf and artist Marcel Duchamp. I’ll be able to share more when my print copy arrives.

So exciting to receive my copies of Around The World in 80 Clubs! The book is out on May 14 with launch events in Stroud and London. Details to follow soon. You can also pre-order: geni.us/WorldIn80Clubs

A front page interview, and met the writer who inspired me to pursue a career in sports writing. It’s been a decent week! Thanks to all who have read or reshared the interview. If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet… hibsobserver.co.uk/interviews/260…

Guardian column today - spoke to grandmasters/others in chess about the new Netflix doc on Carlsen v Niemann and @KitChellel's gripping new book Lucky Devils Vibrating crotches, anal beads and suspicious minds: the long, strange history of chess cheats theguardian.com/sport/2026/apr…

Las "Historias increíbles de la Copa del Mundo" ya se leen en Canadá y USA gracias a @sutherlandbooks Enjoy!!!

@ricardo_chambo Best of luck Richard. Looking forward to checking out the Euro 96 book.

Something has to give. I need to make a change. My Euro 96 book is about to go to the printers. My Cov 2001-08 book is out in 2 weeks. My Cov 25-26 book is due with my publisher in 6 weeks. I have a huge, ongoing Cov project launching next month (the most exciting thing I've ever been part of). This as well as some amazing freelance work I'm doing for ace people like @thesefootytimes. That's it, it's time to quit the full-time job and jump back into writing full time. A monumentally massive financial risk but it's going to be a lot of fun. I hope you guys come on the journey with me and enjoy what's coming next. #pusb

@SanLorenzoEng Tremendous read. Interesting insight into 🇦🇷football culture.

The key thing to remember about the Rocky statue is that you can read about it in my upcoming book GOING THE DISTANCE. #Sixers

Those who are interested in the history of the #worldcup , my book on 1974, published by @pitchpublishing may appeal to you.
