Sports lingo from Anthony Clavane

Sunday Mirror sports reporter and lifelong follower of Leeds United Anthony Clavane talks about his work, his favourite football fictions and his Promised Land: A Northern Love Story, which recently won both Football Book of the Year and Sports Book of the Year – and which is now out in paperback. Clavane links football with literature almost as a matter of course : In King Lear, the boy Shakespeare has the Earl of Kent – the Joey Barton of the early 1600s – kicking Oswald and calling him a ‘base football player’. More than 400 years later, we are still waiting for The Great Football Novel.(Guardian)
