From the Inside Flap
Tim Lovejoy loves football. Along with Helen Chamberlain he presented Soccer AM for more than a decade to become as much a part of a football fan’s weekend as phone-ins, back-page EXCLUSIVES and the vidiprinter.

But why does Tim love football? Is it actually the most important subject in the world? And did he really once support Watford as a kid?

Lovejoy on Football gets down to the nitty gritty of the really important stuff in football, such as:

- Why he, Tim, is technically a rubbish football fan;
- How the Dentist’s Chair could help England win the World Cup;
- Women’s true place in football;
- How ‘Save Chip’ became the biggest football cause in the country;
- Why it’s a bad idea to hammer Razor Ruddock;
- The unwritten rules of football;
- And why footballers are in fact underpaid.

Packed with amusing anecdotes, bustling with great football stories and full of strong opinions, Lovejoy on Football is the must-have football book of 2007.

Customer Reviews

What utter rubbish.
I seriously worry for the sanity of the first two reviewers of this book, which have given it the undue high rating it has received. This is an egotistical piece of utter tripe from start to finish proving what an utter hipster bore Lovejoy is. This is the worse book ever written by frankly one of the most tedious and downright idiotic characters that has ever graced the earth.

just awful
had the misfortune to happen across this travesty of a book. Ridiculous egotism from lovejoy is a given but still this takes the biscuit. Clearly not a football fan at all; favourite player: Johan Cruff, he later admitted having once seen one clip of the cruff turn...says it all. please please don't lower yourselves to this please!

Lovejoy's gravy train.
Absolute tripe.An ex Watford fan who now supports Chelsea tells you all you need to know about this middle class bore.Making a fortune out of football and name dropping Beckham at every chance.
As Ally Ross of The Sun pointed out,there are 38 pictures of himself in the book.8 more than Nelson Mandela used in his autobiography.
