Turncoat is the light-hearted story of one disillusioned Arsenal
fan’s quest to find a new team while rediscovering the simple
joys of watching football. From sneaking out of bed to see Michael
Thomas’s winner against Liverpool, to holding a season ticket for
16 years, Matt Coughlan was a dedicated Arsenal fan. Then came the
move to a new ground, kick-off times always being shunted around
and the goalposts being moved when billionaires injected vast sums
into rival teams, so the height of ambition became finishing
fourth. He became disillusioned with the modern game and drifted
away from it, but he missed being part of the conversation in the
pub and correcting friends on points of trivia. He started to watch
non-league football and searched for a new team to follow. On his
journey, Matt rediscovers a love for the sport, gets into club
boardrooms, talks with officials, finds out about community-owned
clubs, learns about some historic old clubs and watches a mixed bag
of football. But does he find a new team to support?
