World Cup

In a memoir that reveals many of the more controversial and infamous moments to have occurred at the world’s biggest sporting event, Michael Renouf takes us on a reflective journey through his life as a football fan and from a young boy to an adult.

Set against the backdrop of deeply personal, poignant and at times humorous memories of life, love, and loss in the author’s homeland of England, My Incredible World Cup Journey tracks his life as it moves through World Cup tournaments that include military juntas, corrupt officials, and ‘divine’ goals. It is set against the backdrop of personal, political, and social change, and explores what football means both within and beyond the 90 minutes on a pitch.

The memoir is a unique World Cup journey – but something, nonetheless, which every football fan will have inside them in more than a billion different forms. It is told with passion, and always with the beautiful game as a stunning backdrop to life.

Michael Renouf, almost lifelong football fan, sportswriter, occasional gambling man, and keen supporter of a team he dare not mention in case it puts you off buying this book, grew up in a small Wiltshire village in the UK. He was five years old when he realised there was a beautiful game beyond playing with matchbox cars and now in his 50s, not much has changed.In 2015 he relocated to Mexico and began writing professionally, penning film reviews and sports features for magazines and websites around the world. Although he has left the country for sunnier climes he still supports England but thanks to their performances at previous tournaments now fervently hopes rather than believes, as he did for many years, that he will witness them lift the World Cup one day.He lives with his long-term partner Gail, who doesn't support his team or totally gets the offside rule, and lovable rescue dog Princesa, who has never chased a ball in her life.
