About this listen
A passionate and personal account of how football has lost its soul by former player and leading pundit, Gary Neville.
The beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the game—leaving other clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters behind.
It's time to fix football.
Football is the people's game. A sport accessible to everyone and enjoyed by millions around the world. But football is broken. Beneath the glamorous sheen of the Premier League, it's a game that's rusting and rotten. The growing influence and wealth of the biggest teams is harming the game, leaving fans out of pocket and other clubs clinging to survival. This isn't what football is about.
Gary Neville has had a front-row seat in football for over 30 years, witnessing the sport at every level—as a player, a coach, a pundit and an owner. Most of all, he's a fan.
The People's Game is Gary's vision for a brighter future. Drawing on interviews with those at the epicentre of the sport's biggest issues—from the role of ownership to the lack of funding in the football league, the rise in racism and the future of the women's game—he explains how football has sleepwalked into this mess and offers a new way forward. With stories from his own playing career, as well as insight into some of the biggest footballing decisions in recent history, this is a total look at the game today.
This is a passionate, personal and critical account of how football lost its soul, and what we can do to get it back.
©2022 Gary Neville (P)2022 Hodder & Stoughton LimitedThe performance is woeful. Genuinely makes it hard to listen and destroys the content. Either get the actually people doing the voices or accept we have imaginations and just deliver it normally. The budget impressions are cringeworthy to put it politely.
How did this performance get given the green light?

it's all very well researched and interesting.
would have liked more on the super league as it seemed over very quickly and more on the glazers I guess but it is very encompassing from all angles and aspects of all issues from sexism, racism, asset stripping and parasitic owners in the game
interesting

Only criticism is the narrator who did Gary Neville’s mother’s voice. The accent was awful. Would have been nicer to hear a natural Lancastrian accent not a poor impression of one.
Very thought provoking

Why couldn’t Gary Neville narrate his own book?
Awful narration
