Can We Play You Every Week? by Max Velody
Features football league clubs and captures the great moments fans cherish. This book contains anecdotes, quotes, tall tales, worst signings and bizarre injuries.
Velody's prose is infectiously warm and brims with the sort of humour that keeps the reader turning the page to mine more gems from the rich seam of fact, trivia and anecdote he's skilfully assembledThis is the sort of writing that underpinned the rise of the fanzine movement in the Nineties, but which is now as in short supply as home-born players in the premiership. Which leaves me with only one thing to say about the man behind the book: Velody for England! * Independent on Sunday *
A wonderfully irreverent study of all 92 league football clubs, this gem of a book contains a host of facts that will not be found in more solemn works of reference. * Sunday Telegraph *
Can We Play You Every Week? has something to please every fan... Velody really knows his stuff, and every pen-portrait is lavish with anecdote, trivia and opinion. * The Telegraph *

Max Velody is old enough to be paying precisely 40,000 percent more for a ticket to his home club than he did as a kid. He considers himself a failure both as a husband and father because of the variety of football scarves of differing colours hanging in his hallway. Bovril is Max's half-time beverage of choice and he worries it is going out of fashion. He is a TV News Editor.
