Planet Football
Planet Football profiles twelve great players, moving from Alfredo Di Stefano and Pele, stars half a century ago, to the current global presence of David Beckham and Lionel Messi. Here are the sublime skills of Eusebio and Johan Cruyff, the determined spirit of Kevin Keegan, Bryan Robson, and Gary Lineker, plus the wayward genius of George Best, Diego Maradona, and Eric Cantona. Besides the contribution of these players to the development of the game, there are fascinating tales from off the pitch. Andrew Godsell is the acclaimed author of several books, including The World Cup and Europe United: A History of the European Cup / Champions League.
Fifteen Minutes of Fame
Fifteen Minutes of Fame is a satirical commentary on contemporary culture. The book celebrates the cult of celebrity, the wonders of everyday experience, and lots in between. Andrew Godsell, with pen in hand and tongue in cheek, explores diverse subjects, as fact mingles with fiction. The enduring influence of such literary figures as Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, Samuel Pepys, J K Rowling, and Evelyn Waugh is considered. Political themes range from Thatcherism to the Con-Dem coalition, either side of New Labour. The importance of history stretches from Stonehenge, and the legends of King Arthur, to the growth of Internet genealogy. The excitement of sport is reflected in football, and the communal spirit of Sport Relief. Music by John Lennon, Madonna, Patti Smith, and Bruce Springsteen sits alongside a folk festival. The established arts of theatre and cinema combine with the emergence of Reality TV.

Creature
A powerful high-tech company. A postcard-pretty company town. Families. Children. Sunshine. Happiness. A high school football team that never-ever loses. And something else. Something horrible ... Now, there is a new family in town. A shy, nature-loving teenager. A new hometown. A new set of bullies. Maybe the team's sports clinic can help him. Rebuild him. They won't hurt him again. They won't dare.
My Life
This is a unique autobiography. As he enjoyed his first fifteen minutes of fame, with the publication of two acclaimed books, Andrew Godsell decided to tell the story behind their appearance. "My Life" sets the writing of "A History of the Conservative Party" and "The World Cup" within a rich tapestry of experiences, with engaging honesty and humour. Nostalgic recollections of childhood give way to the demands of the adult world, as a career in international finance is juggled with literary pursuits, and political activism. Andrew's passion for football is reflected in accounts of matches he attended - including the 1985 FA Cup Final and numerous World Cup ties. He recalls being interviewed by Rob Bonnet for the BBC, at the 1990 World Cup finals, plus meetings with George Best and Bobby Robson. Participation in both general and local elections lead to a controversial clash with a Conservative Member of Parliament.
