SUNDAY LEAGUE

Reviews

 

In Bed With Maradona:

 

"A well written, well paced and funny story that never descends into the boring clichés most footballing works of fiction do. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout, the excerpts of newspaper articles littered in and amongst really add something to the story, and the portrait of Newcastle is affectionate without wandering into self-parody. Definitely worth your time, fire up the Kindle on my whistle..."

Football Book Reviews:

 

"Well observed throughout, whether describing the joys of Sunday league pitches and dressing rooms or a fan's match-day routine before and after watching their team. This book could have fallen into cliché and been predictable, but Flinn avoids this with an engaging tale that feels genuine throughout, allied with a humour and integrity that left me with a smile on my face and a good feeling inside. A cracking début novel from Christian Flinn."

Sabotage Times:

 

"The tale, and the way it’s written, reminded me of ‘The Likely Lads’... But ‘Sunday League’ isn’t just a comedy, there is plenty of realistic depth and emotion within its entwined plots, and it is all written with a warm panache that makes you happy you’ve read it and glad too that you found out what happens at the end. Buy it or borrow it from a library, it’s a little belter."
