THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET

By Tim Hartley (Pitch Publishing, £9.99)

Tim Hartley goes on a footballing tour of the world, meeting fans in Hong Kong who refuse to bow to China, helping clear goats off a pitch in Africa and kicking off the chanting at a bizarre game in North Korea, before coming home to visit all 92 Football League grounds and watching a prisoners’ team desperate to play a competitive match. Using wry observation and detailed research, The World at Your Feet unfurls the good, the bad and the ugly in its search for the soul of the beautiful game.
