S13E23 Book Club: Callum McFadden & Donald Stewart

With Christmas just around the corner, John B and Scott J were joined by authors Callum McFadden of Football CFB and Donald Stewart of SFSA to plug their new books. Callum's book "Behind the Curtain of the Beautiful Game" is a series of short stories from some of the biggest names in football sharing their tales of their respective experiences, from players and managers, through pundits and broadcasters, to referees and fans. It is a unique insight into what makes the beautiful game, and all royalties go to the mental health charity Man on Inverclyde, which leads to a great conversation around the importance of mental health. Donald's book "Back o the Net" in conjunction with Paul Goodwin is a collation of fans stories across 49 clubs in Scotland on how they got involved with their respective clubs and why they mean so much to them. The community aspect is particularly highlighted with Donald telling the story of how he got involved with his local team Ayr United, and even gets the contribution of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown on his experiences following Raith Rovers. The chat ends with all four giving their 7 aside Scotland teams and where you can buy the books if you're looking for a Christmas gift for someone, or even just something for yourself.
