NEW Books about Spanish football in English

Interested in Spanish football? Interested in practising reading in English? Well the last few weeks has been a bonanza for you!

Firstly Graham Hunter, Sky Sports journalist (amongst other things) released his book about the rise of the current Barcelona team.

Its a great read and I was at the recent book launch in London where I had the pleasure of interviewing Graham for the True Faith football fanzine.

Practice your listening skills with these short videos of Graham talking about the book, Graham is from Aberdeen in NE Scotland.

Next up Jimmy Burns new book "La Roja". Jimmy Burns was born in Madrid in 1953 and contributes Spanish language media outlets and publishes his books in Spanish translation as Jimmy Burns Maranon.
Jimmy's book is a really good read too all about the history of Spanish football, fascinating stuff.

I was at this book launch in London too, read all about it here........ Book launch article - La Roja
