Matt Riley takes us on a fascinating and bizarre behind-the-scenes
journey into the weird and wonderful world of Thai football.
Working as an English Media Officer in Thailand, Riley was given
unique access, seldom granted to foreigners, to the country's most
powerful clubs. Thai Football Tales: Beautiful Madness is a report
on his time inside the Thai football bubble. From spending the
afternoon with Bryan Robson in the Manchester United team hotel, to
persuading a player stopping off in Bangkok on the way to sign for
an A League club to abandon his journey and play in Thailand, no
two days were ever the same. At a meeting in the northern city of
Chiang Mai when helping a friend secure a coaching contract, the
chairman Matt was negotiating with jumped into a cage to wrestle a
tiger. And after interviewing the ‘King of Buriram’, Riley
found his every move was being watched – and filmed! Thai
Football Tales is a jaw-dropping first-hand account of a
Westerner's experiences in a unique and colourful footballing
culture.
