Did you ever play Sunday League football ? If you did then you will enjoy the book "We are Sunday League" by Ewan Flynn

Ewan is a Spurs fan and a real down to earth guy.

Anyone who ever played football will relate to him

I thought it was a cracking read.

    Just read the Preview on the Amazon website and yeah it doesnt look a bad book actually

    Did have a laugh when I read that as an 11-year old his Sunday League team had a game over at Heathrow and on their changing room door were the words: "Hounslow, I did yer Mum"... Little did the boys realise they were talking about the place called Hounslow up the road rather than an insult towards one of their players: Ben Hounslow

    How many copies have sold Ewan?

    Sunday league football is pretty basic stuff and it's mostly how people will assume it will be. What kind of in-depth information and analysis is exclusively available in this book? I'm in a Sunday league team (playing a very light bit part at the moment) which I was a tad more involved with a few years ago.

    I can't really think of any secrets or anything an outsider looking in might find interesting. That's just me though. Good luck with the book. If it's a worthy read then it's a worthy read.

    Any connection @wwtone

    I ran a Sunday team for about 17 years and one of my big regrets was not keeping notes and carving out a book of some of the nonsense that went on. Sadly forgot most of it now

    I think most Sunday league stories are a bit 'you had to be there'.

    Erm, but good luck with the book wwtone.

    I'm not sure why some people think this book is mine.............. It's NOT !!!

    I know nothng at all about the author.

    All I did was read it , enjoyed it and thought I'd recommend it.

    He played at a decent level and one of his team went on to captain Gibraltar.

    Heard this on the radio this morning albeit courtesy of my insomnia. 

    Surprised there was already a thread, but here is yer actual author Ewan Flynn recounting an amusing (imo) story.
