Pat Nevin: Football and How to Survive it - book launch event
From 14 Jun 23 7:00 PM to 14 Jun 23 9:00 PM
The Chelsea, Everton, Scotland (and BBC 5 Live) legend Pat Nevin joins us at the Boston Room at the George IV to launch his new memoir, with a special In Conversation evening.
'Football and How to Survive It' is the follow-up to 2021's acclaimed 'The Accidental Footballer' and traces Pat's journey into a less glamorous side of football. From Tranmere to Kilmarnock, he plays some of the best football he’s ever played - but what happens when, in a strange twist of fate, Pat finds himself both player and Chief Executive of Scottish First Division club Motherwell?
It is an entertaining and revealing tale of a rarely-seen side of football, a book that celebrates the game in all its complex and confusing glory.
Pat will be discussing his career and both his memoirs at the Boston Room on Wednesday 14 June.
Pat - you'll know - is one of the most interesting and literate voices in football, a music fan as likely to be found DJing at indie/alternative nights as appearing as a pundit on BBC 5 Live. In a 20-year career, he played for Clyde, Chelsea, Everton, Tranmere Rovers, Kilmarnock and Motherwell and won 28 caps for Scotland, before retiring in 2000.
