Winner of The Times British Sports Book Award 2014. A fascinating
insight into the enclosed world of football scouts in the UK A
teenaged boy plays football in a suburban park. His name is Raheem
Sterling. The call is made: "Get down here quick. This is something
special". Another boy is 8, going on 28. His name is Jack Wilshere.
The referee, an Arsenal scout, spirits him away from Luton Town. A
young goalkeeper struggles on loan at Cheltenham Town in League
Two. His name is Jack Butland. Within months he will be playing for
England. Welcome to football's hidden tribe. Scouts are everywhere
yet nowhere, faceless and nameless, despite making the informed
decisions worth millions. Award-winning sportswriter Michael Calvin
opens up their hidden world, examining their disconnected
lifestyles, petty betrayals and unconsidered professionalism of men
who spend long, lonely hours on the road.
