Rio Ferdinand - premier league winner, England legend and, to our knowledge, the only footballer to ever release an autobiography with a hashtag in its title.

This week we're reading his 2014 classic '#2Sides', featuring Rio on Fergie, racism, nice hats and why footballers should be able to eat as many chips as they like.

Sex, more sex, and *just a little bit* of football. This week we're reading ex-Newcastle United hero Mick Quinn's romp of a read (quite literally) 'Who Ate All The Pies', featuring Football Clichés and The England Pod's very own David Walker.

Including Mick's heroics at Newcastle, falling out with Kevin Keegan, high speed pulling on a motorway AND a TGI Friday's in Coventry, Mick's second career as a racehorse trainer, and very, very little on his spell for David's beloved Watford.

It's (almost) Christmas! And as it's a time for giving, James has generously gifted each member of the Book Club FIVE WHOLE POUNDS to spend on the best, worst or downright weirdest football book they can find at a charity shop.

Featuring bizarrely drawn Liverpool legends, Tony Cascarino's unfortunate Boxing Day, a mysterious Christmas card, and we find out the Alan Shearer we *think* we know is actually an imposter..

Plus not one, but TWO festive Ken Zongs, The Carlisle Grinch, and James sadly figures out how to use the sound effect board.

Sorry. Merry Christmas. Sorry.
