FOUL PLAY
What's WRONG with Sport

'Foul Play' has been featured on BBC's Analysis programme, and on RTÉ and Newstalk

'One of the year's most amusing reads, a carefully controlled rant backed up with well-researched facts.'
Observer

'impressive... Joe Humphreys writes from a fan's viewpoint and the moment of clarity that most football supporters eventually have – "What's the point of all this, why am I letting it affect my life so much?"'
Metro staronstaronstaronstaron

'...this is a timely book, and one that, being written in very easy-to-read prose, takes the fight right to the enemy. And the enemy is the moronic football fan (ie, the dedicated one)... and indeed everyone who claims that sport builds character.'
Nicholas Lezard's paperback choice, The Guardian
