Remember that I'm doing a talk on Thursday 20th November at 4pm, look at how there have been different uses of football in Colombia over the past decade to project different narratives about the country. It's free, but please sign up here leedscityoflanguages.leeds.ac.uk/events/talk-...

Beautiful technique. You can imagine generations of footballer agent provocateurs and refs are on their feet applauding the sneaky stuff

Tickets are free, but please do register through the link if you would like to come along. I'm looking forward to telling the stories with images, video clips, some stats, possibly even a song (not me singing obvs). You can buy copies of my book too. I'm often quite entertaining, honest...
