This is the bottom corner - the forlorn but never unloved non-league teams who represent the heartland of football. Nige Tassell explores the people and the stories that are the real soul of football.
Nige Tassell writes about sport and music, and his work has appeared in the pages of FourFourTwo, the Guardian, The Sunday Times, Esquire, New Statesman, Q and The Word. He is also the author of The Bottom Corner- Hope, Glory and Non-League Football. He lives in the hill country of Somerset with his wife and two prospective future non-league players.
Warm and celebratory but also sharp and insightful, The Bottom
Corner is a love letter to non-league football that is also a vivid
snapshot of its place in our national life
*Stuart Maconie*
Not since The Football Man has a book so captured the passion of
the game. The Bottom Corner is a wonderful journey through life in
the lower reaches of the football pyramid. A fascinating tale of a
very different world of football from that of the overpaid stars of
the television age.

*Andrew Collins (Classic FM, UKTV, Radio Times)*
An entertaining exploration of the quirks, commitment and romance
of football away from the pumped-up bluster of the top flight.
