'A must-have' - The Telegraph 'Book of the Week' - The Independent 'Hilarious' - Sport Magazine From the host of the Football Clichés podcast comes the hilarious and ever-relevant debut book. In what other context do football fans use the words 'aplomb' or 'derisory'? Why don't we use 'rifle' as a verb on the other six days of the week? Why do aggrieved midfielders feel the instinctive need to make a giant ball-shaped gesture with both hands after a mistimed tackle is punished? The more football Adam Hurrey watched, the more he began to spot the recurring mannerisms, behaviours, opinions and iconography that were mindlessly repeated in the football media. Some clichés are ridiculous, some are quaintly outdated, some have survived through their sheer indisputability.

And if you love this, Adam Hurrey's new follow-up book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom, is out this September.

What if that book was buried in Hampstead and hundreds of years later, when rising sea levels have put London underwater, spawned a religion? What if one man decided to question life according to Dave? And what if Dave had indeed made a mistake? Shuttling between the recent past and a far-off future where England is terribly altered, The Book of Dave is a strange and troubling mirror held up to our times: disturbing, satirizing and vilifying who and what we think we are. At once a meditation upon...
