From the age of 19, first with the Daily Telegraph, then the Daily Express, James Lawton travelled across the country and Europe with the great teams of English football, the Manchester United of Sir Matt Busby, the Liverpool of Bill Shankly, and the rising power, Don Revie's Leeds United. Along the way he formed lifelong admiration for, and friendships with, such emerging stars as Sir Bobby Charlton, on whose recent autobiography he collaborated, George Best, Denis Law, Nobby Stiles, John Giles and Ian St John.
In 2000 he became Chief Sports Writer of The Independent and his column has become amongst the most admired of sports writing in the last decade bringing him not only a large and loyal readership but also awards including Sports Journalist of the Year, Sports Columnist of the Year and Sports Feature Writer of the Year. James Lawton has also written 11 books.
On Football brings together a selection of the best of his writing over the last decade, giving a powerful commentary on the state of football today. Lawton never pulls his punches, writing with both intelligence and wit, and with an enviable knowledge and understanding of the game.
James Lawton: On Football is available now from Dewi Lewis publishing, priced £9.99.
