Can We Play You Every Week? Reviews

Velody's prose is infectiously warm and brims with the sort of humour that keeps the reader turning the page to mine more gems from the rich seam of fact, trivia and anecdote he's skilfully assembled. This is the sort of writing that underpinned the rise of the fanzine movement in the Nineties, but which is now as in short supply as home-born players in the premiership. Which leaves me with only one thing to say about the man behind the book: Velody for England! * Independent on Sunday *
A wonderfully irreverent study of all 92 league football clubs, this gem of a book contains a host of facts that will not be found in more solemn works of reference. * Sunday Telegraph *
Can We Play You Every Week? has something to please every fan... Velody really knows his stuff, and every pen-portrait is lavish with anecdote, trivia and opinion. * The Telegraph *

About Max Velody

Max Velody is not that old but his match day ticket costs precisely 432 times more than it did when he saw his first game. Bovril is Max's half-time drink of choice, and he worries that it is going out of fashion. His team has won just one trophy in the last 70 years. Max is very confident this will be their year.
