For those of you who may have missed it, I had the pleasure of being on the BBC this past weekend for more than two hours. For the first five minutes, I was interviewed by BBC Five Live’s Dotun Adebayo about my new book, the free EPL travel guide entitled In Pursuit Of Real Football.

At the end of the interview, I was invited to stay on the line to participate as one of the experts on the World Football Phone-In Show with Adebayo, Tim Vickery and Andy Brassell. If you’ve never heard the weekly phone-in show, it’s one of the best ones out there.

You can hear the 5-minute interview as well as the two-hour World Football Phone-In Show from EPL Talk’s Media Coverage page. Enjoy.

In the interview with Vickery, the writer discusses why he’s never written a book, his memories of his first football match ever at White Hart Lane, the first match he watched on TV, memories of collecting sticker albums, the moment when he knew he wanted to become a football journalist, his first impressions of football in brazil when he arrived, the most intense atmospheres he has experienced at matches, and much more.
