New Book release!

The history of the English Football League Cup

1960 ~ 2024

The culture of Football and the air that it breathes ...

takes on aspects that also join the dots with the culture of Music, Film and Art.

They all follow the same rules and is built on practice, knowledge, beliefs, talent as well as the art itself.

It can be dominant and prevalent in society at any given time.

It evolves and every time it does, it tells a different story of the highs and lows.

One that are begging to be told!

Meet the Author ...

My name is Rob Carless 

and writing about the passion of what happens on the pitch and on the terraces is of paramount importance to me. To accept football means that one has to accept all aspects of the beautiful game regardless of its outcome and there are thousands of stories out there that are yet to be written. 

It matters not about the Club. The story does not know boundaries.

BUT its not just about Football. 

It's also very much all about Sub & Popular Culture.

And I will write it!

I also host events for Supporters Clubs all over the land. I love talking as well as writing!

More info on Ghost Writing ...

Ghost writing is about getting to the heart of the subject matter and then turning the story into prose. Everything is done with reverence and respect. I love working with footballers as each one has a story to tell. There are a number of ways that the book can be produced, whether this be traditional, self-publishing or via sponsorship.

Once we are in agreement, I will set up regular meetings. This can be on-line or face to face. I am a member of the English National Football Archive. This allows me access to all the relevant stats pertaining to players, clubs, competitions. 

Each step of the way is planned out with detail and heart, allowing for the greatest of stories to be told.
