This week The Football Book Club read Norwich, Hibs, Shrewsbury and a team in Singapore legend Grant Holt's 2019 autobiography 'A Real Football Life'... and it's a cracker!
Despite being one of the hardest books to track down yet, it's all worth it with tales of battered sausages, swan attacks, Chesney Hawkes and Bryan Gunn losing his cool with a bottle of sun cream.
Plus Ken's back with another chant, Tash thinks she might be the reason Grant became a professional footballer and we play an all-new game called 'What Chocolate Bar is Grant Holt describing?'.
