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