Following his first book, Another Bloody Saturday: A Journey to the
Heart and Soul of Football, Mat Guy continues his exploration of
the `beautiful game' in Minnows United; an ode to the unsung heroes
of football matches taking place out of the limelight, all over the
world. From little known teams within the UK, to teams representing
countries that, to most of the world, don't even exist, Mat Guy
travels to remote parts of the globe to experience football not
only on the fringes of the pitch, but on the fringes of the world.
On his travels, he watches matches in Iceland, interviews members
of the Tibetan Women's Football team, explores the impact of
football in war-torn Palestine and explores the unsung heroes in
the football clubs present throughout the length of the UK. What he
finds is countries transcending the game itself and instead
building communities, lifelines and friendship with football at the
centre.
