Writer, presenter and researcher Daniel Gray is in love with the ‘Beautiful Game’, the subject of a number of his books. Join him to delve into the football writing of Scottish journalist Hugh McIlvanney, whose long career encompassed work for the Scotsman, Sunday Times and Observer. McIlvanney was renowned for his perfectly crafted sentences: long, lyrical and rich with surprises. Read his work ahead of the event or be inspired to dip into it afterwards.
