A Game of Two Halves: Famous Football Fans Meet Their Heroes by Amy Raphael

Ever wondered which goal Frank Lampard is proudest of, who Jurgen Klopp thinks will manage Liverpool in the future, what Rio Ferdinand thinks of Man United in the post-Ferguson years or exactly how many grey cashmere jumpers Pep Guardiola owns?

A Game of Two Halves Reviews

How Amy Raphael has got so many incredible people in one book is astounding, and proof of the power of football to bring us together. I loved every page. -- James Corden
There's more to these sporting greats than some would give them credit for, and all of them speak passionately, eruditely and honestly, whether on the subject of scoring goals or feminism and football...Amy Raphael has done a brilliant job of not only producing a first-class book that allows readers unprecedented access to some of the biggest names in world football but also in using that platform for bigger issues. * NB magazine *
