'Well researched, emotive and hugely entertaining' Guillem Balague
'A treasure trove of new and untouched stories' Suzy Wrack
'This book is a joy to read' Max Rushden
'Wonderful' Joey D'Urso

Have you ever heard of the football club founded by ex-KGB officers, the 21-time champions of Moldova?


How about the Vatican Cup, contested by eight clubs made up of clerics, priests and Vatican members, where countless players have ended up in the sin bin?


Or maybe you're more familiar with the Spanish team that actually resides in North Africa?

Whether you're a football hipster or five-a-side novice, join renowned football writer and podcaster Paul Watson for an intrepid guide through the weird, wacky and wonderful world of football. Around the World in 80 Clubs takes the reader on a global tour of the beautiful game, from the squirrel-costume wearing fans of Andorra's UE Santa Coloma to the Buddhist monk ultras of Bhutan's Thimphu City, via Greenland's one-week season, through to priestly punch-ups in the Vatican City.

Arond the World in 80 Clubs is packed with unique footballing stories you have never heard of but will never forget, shedding a humorous and thrilling light on cultures and communities formed - and sustained - through football.
