Description
It's a quiet time for new sport books but we have unearthed a real gem in the winter months. Founder of Loaded and former GQ editor JAMES BROWN has written a love letter to the game of five-a-side in ABOVE HEAD HEIGHT. He tells us about why this has such a hold on so many players right into their middle age and beyond, how you shouldn't take it up if you want to get fit and why we should get rid of the "above head height" rule. He also has come cracking recommendations for sport books we should be picking up. Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes and leave us a review. Follow us on Twitter @SportsBookPod.
