It is referred to as the world game and with that in mind, we showcase two books in this episode. Sally Freedman brings 'Get Your Tits Out For The Lads' and Lucas Gillard the more soberly titled 'George Best Down Under'

Both authors' books are well worth your time and attention, even if you have little passion for the round ball game. These are books with great stories and messages and both very well written.

Both are published by Fairplay Publishing and I am sure you will enjoy my chat with the writers as much as you will enjoy their books.
