This week the Book Club are reading 'Take Note!' - the 2010 autobiography by James's favourite ever player, Spurs, Portsmouth & England legend Darren Anderton. Featuring an unhinged foreword by Terry Venables, arguments over the phone with Alan Sugar, Gazza the wise sage, Darren's *many* holidays to America, the truth behind his injury record, and the most disgusting prank we've ever encountered courtesy of Steve Sedgley. Plus we play 'Is it a Taylor Swift song or a Darren Anderton chapter title?'.

Football Book Club returns, live from London's Cheerful Earful podcast festival! And we've tracked down Alan Shearer's long-lost, secret 1998 audiocassettes to FINALLY bring Alan's story to the masses. Including how Bryan Adams helped secure Alan's move back to Newcastle, his war of words with Michael Owen, and Alan's 'tragically magnificent arse' he owes his whole career to. Plus Blackburn Rover's Jack Walker goes Brando, Kevin Keegan's unnecessary codewords and we play 'Mulled Over or Moldova'.
