Episode 319,   Feb 07, 2022, 03:00 AM

Noted for famous books such as We Ate All the Pies and Can we have out football back?, John Nicholson is one of the top soccer writers.

With his extended-form non-fiction work, Nicholson dives into topics regarding how the game has changed over time. More often than not, developments to the game take away from the historic and respected nature that fans across the globe fell in love with. 

Nicholson dives into those two books and what they mean to him, as well as a variety of other topics:

  • How he got into the writing industry
  • Supporting Middlesbrough and some of his favorite memories
  • Organizing and releasing T-shirts for sale
  • Expanding on his passion for Rock 'n' Roll with Rock Candy Magazine
  • His writing with Football 365 and his knowledge of the beautiful game
  • Applying his trade to fiction works, not just non-fiction soccer writing.

John Nicholson's books are best-selling works and are still available. You can also follow his work at his Twitter (@JohnnyTheNic) and for Football 365.

A video version of this interview is available on the World Soccer Talk YouTube channel.
