A brief, made-up football writing typology
It seems to me there are three distinct types of football writing.
First, we have the straight-up, journalistic, newspaper style match-report. There are some
intriguing variations on this approach, like Michael Cox's Zonal Marking with its intense tactical
hermeneutics, or the florid style you might sometimes find in a strange place like the Mirror,
incorporating all sorts of colourful, often mixed metaphors that end up featured in the opening
pages of When Saturday Comes.
