AS SEEN ON BBC FOOTBALL FOCUS AND BT SPORT 'Excellent and
thoroughly enjoyable' Sunday Sport 'One man and his quest to see a
game in every UEFA nation in one season' Paul Doyle, Guardian
EUROPE UNITED follows Matt Walker's unprecedented challenge to
experience top-division football in all 55 UEFA countries in a
single season. In June 2017, Matt said farewell to his job,
surrendered his Fulham FC season ticket and set off for Georgia,
the first stop on his mission. He would end his adventure eleven
months later in Montenegro, having conquered the continent and
captured the imagination of its sporting media. His epic journey
would pose its challenges. Yet no amount of airport confusion in
Iceland, unusual betting activity in Latvia, spectator bans in
Albania, disturbances in Kosovo or ropey breakfast buffets in
Moldova would make Matt miss a matchday. And then there were the
games themselves: showcasing the full spectrum of footballing
theatre, from the truly sublime to the utterly ridiculous. Matt's
trip would also bequeath him footballing wisdom beyond his
imagination. Not only would he learn that Liechtenstein had its
very own 'golden generation', but also why one football club in
Gibraltar is benefitting from a television gameshow, who in La
Liga's mascot is a giant anchovy, how Tony Adams fared in his
managerial spell in Azerbaijan, and just what Bosko Balaban is up
to these days. This is the story of one fan on a once-in-a-lifetime
experience: travelling to Europe's unseen corners, talking with its
unsung supporters, and tracing the beautiful game across the
breadth of our brilliant, bizarre continent.
