On this months podcast we are joined by Mark Davies. Author of the book Love Letter to Football.

The book documents his life as a Middlesbrough FC fan from the 70's through to present day. The book also explores how football remained a constant source of comfort after his diagnosis of incurable blood cancer in 2016, and also charts his health journey of dark and bright days following a stem cell transplant.

Love Letter to Football is available via Amazon.
