A late contender for best book title of the series, this week we're reading former Aston Villa, Leicester and Coventry City forward Julian Joachim's 2023 autobiography 'You Must Be Joachim'.
Featuring the ups and downs of a career which sampled the Premier League to the Gibraltar National League, Julian causing a stink in the dressing room (literally) and failed Chinese restaurants co-owned with Steve Walsh. Plus brushes with Hollywood, what connects Julian and the Kardashians and quite possibly the best Ken Zong yet. Julian might be Joachim, but were we laughing by the end of it? Find out now!

It's time for, perhaps, the most obscure and most bizarre book we've ever read on Football Book Club - and definitely the shortest. We're reading all 58 pages of former Spurs, Wolves and Arsenal midfielder Rohan Ricketts's self-published, 2013 book 'Passion For Football: Things To Know From Youth to Pro'.
Having played for no less than NINETEEN clubs around the world, from Canada to Bangladesh, Ecuador to Coventry, Rohan's book is part self-help, part the highs and lows of being a globetrotting journeyman, and there's even time for an interview with Darren Bent.
Featuring unwanted phone calls with David Pleat, Steve Sidwell teacher's pet and the perils of being a salsa teacher. Plus Eric the taxi driving football agent, a truly disastrous spell in Moldova and Rohan teaches us the F.A.C.T.S.

After the drama of Mick McCarthy's 2002 World Cup Diary a fortnight ago, it's time for Roy Keane's side of the story, as we read the Manchester United legend's explosive 2002 book 'Keane: The Autobiography'.
Joining us to read it is the brilliant comedian and comedy writer, as well as host of The Way They Were podcast, Gráinne Maguire, as we delve deep, deep, DEEP into the mind of the former Irish captain.
Featuring Roy on Jack Charlton, the nightmare of people asking you for tickets, and the merits of pasta. Plus Roy's scathing views on Jason McAteer's fish and chip challenge, *that* challenge on Alfe Inge Haaland, a Dramatic Reading where Roy goes watch shopping with Lee Sharpe and, of course, the sheer drama of that showdown with Mick in Saipan.
Who will come out on top? Roy or Mick? Find out in Keane vs McCarthy Pt 2.

We're heading back to 2002 where, over on an island in Japan, the Irish World Cup camp is about to be rocked by a heavyweight clash for the ages - Roy Keane vs Mick McCarthy.
Once and for all we're going to find out who was right, who was wrong and most importantly, who wrote the better book about it? Starting with then Ireland manager Mick McCarthy's World Cup diary 'Ireland's World Cup 2002'. And joining us to read it is Ipswich/McCarthy megafan and creator of Apple TV's 'Trying' - comedy writer Andy Wolton.
Featuring clashes with the press, Gary Doherty selection headaches, and of course the Roy Keane incident. Plus Jason McAteer's fledgling romance with Kylie, Buddhist sound baths and Kenny Cunningham playing 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' on the coach.
