Standing on the Shoulders of Titans: San Marino, Life and Football at the Bottom of the Nations League

Mat Guy

Regular price £12.99

Tax included.

From the publisher:

Where is the joy in supporting or playing for a team that never wins? Join author Mat Guy and Brigata Mai Uno Gioia (Never Any Joy Brigade) - San Marino's ever faithful supporters - to explore the passion, pride and dedication of following their team, to places like Malta, Liechtenstein, Latvia and Moldova. Mat captures the spirit of the places he visits and people he meets, where the national teams are often overlooked, or even worse, dismissed out of hand by the rest of the continent's football community.

Thanks to the Nations League these small countries are enjoying a renaissance. Maybe even the seemingly impossible - a competitive victory - can happen.


The author:

Mat Guy lives in Southampton with his wife Deb, and cat Ellie.

His first book, Another Bloody Saturday detailed, among other things, falling in love with Accrington Stanley, accidentally starting a football team in Bhutan, and exploring football from Tibet to The Faroe Islands.

His second book, Minnows United, carries on his adventures among the fringes of football, taking in national teams without a nation, Europa League qualifying football in Luxembourg, and an unbelievable story from one of the most war-torn places on earth - Gaza.
