'What Ned hasn't seen on a sports TV channel isn't worth knowing
about.' Gabby Logan 'From falling out with Mourinho to flying with
Gerrard, this is a wonderful journey through football.' Henry
Winter 'A great read by one of sport's good guys.' Jonathan Liew 'A
beautiful love letter to a love no longer felt.' Adrian Chiles
Square Peg, Round Ball is a candid, insightful reminiscence on a
life in football. From time to time, as I lurched from training
ground to player's tunnel, I'd be glared at by Alex Ferguson,
clapped on the back by Arsene Wenger, taken out the back by Alan
Pardew or banned by Jose Mourinho. In the time it took for the
Golden Generation to come of age, dominate, disappoint and retire,
I fell in - and ultimately out - of love with the game, as I was
granted a uniquely privileged insight into the backstage comings
and goings of the professional football circus. Although best known
as ITV's commentator on the Tour de France, Ned Boulting has spent
most of his professional life covering football. Follow Ned's
journey from football supporter to reporter - from criss-crossing
the country in a banger of a car hoping for a word or two from the
latest big signing, to the glamour of the Champions League. Ned
really has been there, done that, and got the Sky Sports jacket to
prove it. Witnessing the shenanigans, the machinations and the
idiocy of football at close quarters Ned shares his best stories
with affection. Whether it's treading mud into Steven Gerrard's
pristine white carpets, or nearly being pushed into oncoming
traffic by a menacing Vinnie Jones, or being chased away from Roman
Abramovich's house by some scary looking men on quadbikes - Ned has
made a fool of himself to bring us the best tales from his
experiences in 90s and 2000s football.
