Glory, scandal and how French football came of age

Le foot français has come a long way over the last 40 years, with France reaching four of the past seven men’s World Cup finals (winning two) and French players starring for the world’s biggest clubs.

Culminating in a comprehensive account of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League triumph in 2025, Tom Williams explores French football’s turbulent modern transformation. From match-fixing affairs to sex-tape scandals, monumental matches to heart-stopping headbutts, he details how philosophies, personalities and power struggles have defined each era.

Featuring exclusive interviews with French greats such as Alain Giresse, Jean-Pierre Papin and Blaise Matuidi, and with a cast including Michel Platini, Zinedine Zidane and Kylian Mbappé, Va-Va-Voom is the inside track on France’s footballing revolution.

Tom Williams is a football writer and broadcaster who has written for The Athletic, The Times, the Guardian and the Independent. He is the resident Premier League expert for Canal+ in France and a regular guest on The Totally Football Show podcast.
