The Second Captains Sports Annual, Volume 1 is the book you’ve been waiting for your entire life. Well, your entire life since you stopped reading sports annuals as a child.
A co-production between Second Captains and Sweatshop, there’s more feature writing and bad language than your old Shoot! used to contain but expect all the things that made those annuals the very last word in school-ground literary chic.
Printed and produced in Ireland and featuring design from Trevor Finnegan, cartoons from The Guardian’s David Squires and Ireland’s Colm Mac Athlaoich and writing from Ken Early, Eoin McDevitt, Amy O’Connor, Murph, and Simon Hick, among others.
This is the ultimate loving gift [purchase at link below] for the Second Captains fan in your family. Or a cousin you don’t really like.
To celebrate this week’s book launch we like to offer Broadsheet readers, three, yes THREE copies of the book. To enter, just complete this sentence:
