Guaranteed to be one of the funniest football books of the year Snod This For A Laugh is a publication with a difference. Former footballer Ian Snodin offers a unique insight about life on & off the pitch during an 18-year playing career which saw the first influx of SKY money & the FA Premier League. Revelations are laid bare in this series of pub chat discussions on a range of topics
- as well as the sport he made his name in. Some of British sports most high-profile names feature including Shearer Gascoigne Beardsley Bremner Southall Ruddock. We delve into the footballing memories of a man who signed for Everton ahead of then double winners Liverpool; who captained his home-town club while still a teenager; whose mentor was Leeds United legend Billy Bremner; who was robbed of a potential place in Englands 1990 World Cup side due to a succession of serious injuries. Ian also recalls his foray into football management back at his beloved Doncaster
- a club on their knees newly relegated from the Football League when he agreed to take over only weeks before the start of the 1998/99 season. From scrabbling round for kit & struggling to field 11 men early in his managerial stint he guided Rovers to cup success & league stability. Still heavily involved in the media Ian remains a popular figure particularly on Merseyside & in his native Yorkshire & is also a successful after-dinner speaker.
