Description:
Event DetailsJoin us at Manor House Library for a special event with Lee Wellings, who'll read from and discuss Football Fables—a witty, poignant, and sometimes furious collection of short stories about the state of football today.
“Are you one of the millions who love football? Do you get excited on matchday? Has your club ever done something magical? And… has the game gone? Welcome to Football Fables: eleven stories full of dry wit and rampant imagination. Fables to make you laugh, cry, and see the beautiful game in a new light.”
Lee is a veteran sports journalist and broadcaster with over 30 years’ experience at the BBC, Sky News, ITN, and Al Jazeera. He’s also a motivational speaker, founder of Kalleyedo Films, and a proud Horsham FC fan and Manor House Library ultra.
In conversation with Calico’s own Andi Thomas—Sydenham Library manager and author of Underground, Overground: The Fault Lines of Football.
