Over the next few months we will once more bring four speakers to explore, examine and dissect the writing behind the beautiful game.Spanning non-fiction, journalism and academic writing forms, each speaker will offer a unique perspective from their personal and professional experiences on how writing around football functions, and what it seeks to do in each specific space it finds itself in.Each event will take attendees deep into their respective world, with audiences invited to engage in discussion and questions at the close. All events are entirely free and open to all.Second up on Friday 30th January at 6pm welcome Jonathan Wilson. Jonathan is  a writer and broadcaster. He has published a novel and twelve non-fiction books about football including a history of tactics, Inverting the Pyramid; a history of the Argentinian game, Angels With Dirty Faces; a history of Hungarian football between 1916 and 56, The Names Heard Long Ago; and a biography of Jack and Bobby Charlton, Two Brothers.
