Join Stanchion Books and South London Gallery Bookshop for the London Football Book Market celebrating the wealth of independent football publishing that is transforming the way we see and speak about the beautiful game.

An exciting mix of publishers, authors, illustrators and other football brands will be present selling books, magazines, fanzines, photobooks, shirts, prints and other merchandise.

There a pop-up exhibition curated by Football Beyond Borders, an educational charity that uses the power of football to reengage young people in education and develop key Social Emotional Learning skills to change the lives of young people.   The exhibition is called “Squad Goals,” which aims to develop Relationship Skills, Self Awareness and Social Awareness, with the equal goal of forming a positive group dynamic as an FBB ‘Squad.’

Book signings with Eve Ainsworth, Dev Bajwa and Ian Plenderleith (TBC) will take place throughout the day and, to round things up, Ashley Hickson-Lovence will be discussing his book Your Show, his stirring novel about Uriah Rennie, the Premier League’s first black match official published by Faber.
