This is a fun listen ..had me smiling a lot :D

Joe Dunthorne is an engaging narrator

The England Writers Football team brings together some of the most exciting writers - and the worst footballers - in Britain today. Despite sounding like a Monty Python joke, its members would claim that there is a connection between the two activities that's well worth exploring. Author of Submarine and acclaimed new talent (literary) Joe Dunthorne provides a running commentary on a match between his England Writers Football Team and the newly-formed Scotland Writers Football Team, at a hotly-contested international match in Glasgow. Can a writer ever make a really good footballer?

They say that Camus was a decent goalkeeper before he got TB - and I hear that Swift was very nippy on the wing.

Here's that great moment when Socrates scored against Germany in spite of

Nietzsche's blatant foul in the first half.......

<whistles> :D

It says, in the write up for this programme, that Camus famously said that football taught him all that he knew about morality and obligations....
