Ian Holloway: The (mostly)...

David Clayton, Ian Holloway

An audiobook like no other from one of the beautiful game’s most charismatic managers 
 
“From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…” 
 
Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway – known to one and all in football as ‘Ollie’. 
 
He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. 
 
Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. 
 
With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German 
 
youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. 
 
Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.
