Afternoon all, apologies for the shameless plug that is about to follow. My second book, Match Fit, came out today and is available online. Match Fit was inspired by a desire to raise awareness of mental health through football. There are 13 chapters, each on a different topic, including everything from the unique pressures on Premier League footballers to using football to help people deal with PTSD after the Grenfell Fire. 15% of the profits from the book go to mental health awareness and suicide prevention charity Beder. I hope you enjoy Match Fit, and perhaps learn something too. If it helps just one person then the hundreds of hours I’ve put into the project over the last three years will all have been worth it. You can buy Match Fit from Amazon here: www.amazon.co.uk/Match-Fit-Exploration-Mental-Football/dp/1801504687Bringing it back on topic - I'll be at the Forest Green game on Saturday from 12pm in the fanzone for a 'meet the author' event. I'll have physical copies of the book with me for sale as well for if you'd prefer to buy direct from me rather than online. See you all then!

Congrats on the publishing of the new book Johnnie. What's the best method that ensures most of the money gets in your hands and that of the charity?

Congrats on the publishing of the new book Johnnie. What's the best method that ensures most of the money gets in your hands and that of the charity? Thank you! Myself and the charity get the biggest cut from any sales I make in person, including at the ground on Saturday. However, any sales on a site like Amazon help push the book up the algorithm and mean it's suggested to more people, so that could help generate more profit in the long run. I've got no preference really, whatever is easiest for you
