Alastair Campbell has published a Troubles-themed thriller set in the world of 1970s football. We’re joined in studio by Seamas O’Reilly, the world’s foremost authority on the novels of Steve Bruce, to see if Campbell’s book is any better than Bruce’s. We also discuss what Seamas made of Michael O’Neill’s comments on the FAI pursuing Irish internationals born north of the border.
Saturday Bloody Saturday is a thrilling football novel set in 1974, on the backdrop of a struggling football manager, a general election and the looming threat of terrorism.
