Jim White - Telegraph

"When I met Flynn, he said his ambition for the book was to see someone reading it on the Tube. If he had seen me doing just that, he would have caught me snorting with laughter, unable to control myself at the recognition of the world he brings to the page."

MORE REVIEWS of we are sunday League

Sports Book of the Month

“No schoolboy was ever captivated by net spends and transfer windows,” says the book’s cover; it seems that fewer and fewer of us old ‘uns are either, which is why We Are Sunday League is such a breath of fresh footballing air." 

Of Pitch and Page

"The nearly-made-it midfielder now playing for fun, the winger desperate to make his sport-mad father proud, the goalkeeper who briefly lived his professional football dream and then returned. Amateur football is all about the characters. Who wouldn’t want to read about the captain of Gibraltar and the Tottenham fan who stole Tim Sherwood’s gilet?"

When Saturday Comes

"His strongest chapter is reserved for the thwarted ambitions of ex-Spurs apprentice and Wizards talisman Danny Grimsdell, who you may remember as the Tottenham supporter Tim Sherwood invited into the dugout in 2014."
