Need to Feel Your Love

Expect The Bayonet

The doyen of football criticism in the English language turns 90 on September 24 2021. His age means he’s not well enough to pop into the Library but all his books line the shelves.

Arsenal fan Brian is best known for updating his Story of the World Cup every four years, and in recent years for his World Soccer column. His achievements cannot be summarised in this paragraph so it’s recommended that you listen to a documentary which features contributions from previous Library visitors Leo Moynihan, Nick Szczepanik, Paddy Barclay and Rob Steen.

There’s also a conversation, direct from casa Glanville, with Brian’s eldest son Mark, who praises his dad’s fiction and Chelsea Casuals, the team which Brian ran for several decades.

A very happy birthday to the man who either influenced, or should be an influence upon, every football critic.
