Most Interesting Football Writing at the moment

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Is Secret Footballer in The Guardian. Apparently written by a current Premier League player it gives a players view on a series of topics, pundits, agents, managers, gay footballers ................................

Take a Bow Son.

It is a fascinating read. I'd quite like to know who it is, but the air of mystique adds to it.

David James?

David James?

who plays for.........................................................?

I thought it could be Fat Frank.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was thinking Brad Friedel, but I have unconvinced myself.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I have no idea. Fat Frank might be a good call. It reads like a British player. Be great if it was someone like Giggs.

I have my suspicions that it is Danny Murphy. Keen on a career in the media, has shown before that he is willing to stick his neck out?

 

[Skunk]

I think Frank Lampard, he got an A* in Latin GSCE, my friend's child studies Latin at school and apparently it is very confusing, he's published an autobiography and he has a high IQ

I'm not so sure about that. The latest article insinuates that all is not rosy at Chelsea or at least Terry is not an entirely popular leader. I'm not sure he would criticise Capello either. He might be clever, but he doesn't come across as being particularly profound.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

I don't believe it is Frank Lampard. I can't imagine he would say, like TSF did on Twitter, he knows players in the mid-20's not being keen on playing internationals. It sounds like someone who is either excluded from, or disillusioned with, the international game. IMO Lampard still has international ambitions.

It's awfully well written. Suspect it's a journalist.

This is worth a look...

I thought it might be Scott Parker. He was at quite a tough school to get into in London. Funnily enough so was Shaun Wright-Phillips. Probably barking up completely the wrong tree.

Cheers for this link though. Really interesting read.

"Rudyard Kipling, a personal hero of mine, is a great example of the success that can be achieved because of an allegiance to two different countries. Torn between Britain and India, Kipling exploited this and wrote some of the finest works in modern literature, his outstanding contributions including the poems, If and Mandalay and the short story, The Man Who Would Be King."

Are they sure this is a piece written by a professional footballer?

 

[ShandyH]

Could be. I think the chances are that a journalist has ghost written it based on some points fed to them.

Are you sure there are no top flight footballers with an interest and understanding of literature? I'm sure not all of them are as dumb as Rooney or as ill behaved as Terry.

 

[CheeseRolls]

My guess is Sol Campbell
