Pat Nevin never wanted to be a professional footballer...

Placed firmly in the 80s and 90s, before the advent of the Premier League, Pat Nevin writes with honesty, insight and wry humour.

The Accidental Footballer is a different kind of football memoir. Capturing all the joys of professional football as well as its contradictions and conflicts, it's about being defined by your actions, not your job, and is the perfect reminder of how life can throw you the most extraordinary surprises, when you least expect it.
