Ever since it was first released, Franklin Foer's book "How Soccer Explains The World" has been
widely talked about. With the leagues over for the summer, I was lucky enough to finally get around
to cracking open a copy of the book to kick off my summer soccer reading.
The book's stated goal is to use the "metaphor of soccer" to address some of the "failures of
globalization".

Studs! (Ebury Press) is an entertaining retro footie annual using stories, interviews and pictures
taken directly from Shoot! Magazine from the 60s, 70s & 80s. Britain's top footballers of the
moment, often accompanied by the loving missus, are shown in all their garish glory (kind of living
testament to mad and bad football haircuts) whether it be while mowing the lawn, practising their
golf swings, decorating the kitchen or celebrating big wins in the communal team bath.
