Britain's most opinionated football pundit lets rip on the modern game.

"Football is our game - the game we all adore. As a player and pundit I've seen and experienced plenty of the good, the bad and the ugly. And let's get face facts - there is still plenty of the bad and ugly. Our game can be so much better, and in this book I'll tell you just how - ruffling a few feathers along the way in search for the whole, unvarnished truth. This is my quest to right football of its wrongs."

Chris sets his sights on 25 aspects of the modern game that need fixing. Ridiculous rules, idiotic behaviour, stupid decisions - no subject is out of bounds. From diving players to abusive fans, from feckless agents to the dreaded VAR, from the standard of referees to the lunacy of the managerial merry-go-round, Sutton leaves no stone unturned. In his trademark tell-it-like-it-is style so loved by the football public, no quarter is given either.

As a former top-level pro player with a 16-year, trophy-laden career behind him, Chris knows the game from the inside out. Now observing from the commentator's perch, his perspective is shot through with experience, passion and occasionally a little anger.

Sutton is a man on a mission, determined to get under the skin of the game he loves and to call out exactly what's going wrong.

About the Author

Chris Sutton is a former top-level football player whose playing days included spells in the colours of Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Celtic, Birmingham City and Aston Villa. His career highlights include winning five league titles, three Scottish Cups and the Premier League's Golden Boot. He has played in the UEFA Cup Final, as well as representing his country at an international level.

Since retiring from football, Chris has become the nation's most tell-it-like-it-is pundit. Not only is he a columnist for the Daily Mail and the Daily Record, but he is a senior co-commentator at BBC Radio 5 Live and a regular panellist on the Mark Chapman-hosted Monday Night Club.

In fact, Sutton is rarely off air, lending those forthright opinions to BT Sport's football coverage, as well as Radio 5 Live's Fantasy Football podcast. He is also one-half of the duo behind the station's flagship Saturday-evening football phone-in, 606.
