About the book
Prez is about far more than football. This true story, narrated by Prez’s barrister father, is a warm, witty and intensely personal account of their attempt to navigate the world of grassroots and academy football. It tells of the characters, skilfulness, kindnesses, injustices, duplicity and, at times, downright stupidity that they meet along the way.
Frank and utterly compelling, it provides a remarkable insight into the sport through Prez's experience of junior football and the Nottingham Forest Academy.
