Rohan Ricketts's 'Passion For Football'
Listen now
Description
It's time for, perhaps, the most obscure and most bizarre book we've ever read on Football Book Club - and definitely the shortest. We're reading all 58 pages of former Spurs, Wolves and Arsenal midfielder Rohan Ricketts's self-published, 2013 book 'Passion For Football: Things To Know From Youth to Pro'. Having played for no less than NINETEEN clubs around the world, from Canada to Bangladesh, Ecuador to Coventry, Rohan's book is part self-help, part the highs and lows of being a globetrotting journeyman, and there's even time for an interview with Darren Bent. Featuring unwanted phone calls with David Pleat, Steve Sidwell teacher's pet and the perils of being a salsa teacher. Plus Eric the taxi driving football agent, a truly disastrous spell in Moldova and Rohan teaches us the F.A.C.T.S. Enjoy the show and want to hear more?
