The Football Book Club

Rohan Ricketts's 'Passion For Football'

Listen on

Episode notes

It's time for, perhaps, the most obscure and most bizarre book we've ever read on Football Book Club - and definitely the shortest. We're reading all 58 pages of former Spurs, Wolves and Arsenal midfielder Rohan Ricketts's self-published, 2013 book 'Passion For Football: Things To Know From Youth to Pro'.

Having played for no less than NINETEEN clubs around the world, from Canada to Bangladesh, Ecuador to Coventry, Rohan's book is part self-help, part the highs and lows of being a globetrotting journeyman, and there's even time for an interview with Darren Bent.

Featuring unwanted phone calls with David Pleat, Steve Sidwell teacher's pet and the perils of being a salsa teacher. Plus Eric the taxi driving football agent, a truly disastrous spell in Moldova and Rohan teaches us the F.A.C.T.S.
