The best Liverpool author around, investigating one of the most enduring questions in British club football: why Liverpool, imperious for so long, so abruptly and completely stopped winning titles from the 1990s. That is some combination. A captivating book which is essential reading for all fans of the game, whether Liverpool supporters or not.

Pickering's narratives are cleverly deceptive; it's surprising just how much the author unravels of each winner's character... compulsive reading.

Throughout The Yellow Jersey Club, Pickering asks plenty of pertinent questions which he leaves up to the reader to resolve, which is something I like. It makes reading the book slower - Pickering's actively engaging you with the text - but ultimately more rewarding.

A fascinating account of how a Caribbean island came to rule the world in the art and science of running very fast indeed

Compelling… thoughtful and wide-ranging… leaves you feeling optimistic

What this book does is capture the spirit of the sport in Jamaica… Moore clearly reveled in this grass roots exuberance and it is hard, reading this book, not to do so too

[Krien] writes honestly and brilliantly. Night Games is a book that was begging to be written. Readers should exult that Krien got there first.

One of the most incredible works of investigative non-fiction that I have ever read. Krien is nuanced and fiercely intelligent and every paragraph is addictive.

Heady mix of courtroom drama and narrative journalism… Not for the fainthearted, but highly compelling

Fearless, balanced and powerful.

Plenty of…jaw-dropping details make it an uncomfortable journey, but it’s an illuminating one as Krien shines a light inside the locker room and beyond

The deserving winner of this year's William Hill Sports Book of the Year award

This is a breakthrough book by one of the leading young lights of Australian writing

Despite it being an almost impossible subject to write about, Krien has produced a brilliant, disarming, thought-provoking book

A thought-provoking book that every aspiring male footballer should be made to read…as part of their apprenticeship

A worthy, if unexpected, winner

A depressing but essential read

an intelligent and unsettling exploration of how sport’s macho culture and exclusion of women enable abuse
