Overview:
Two distinct voices, one irresistible collection. The World Of Football According To Athletico Mince invites readers into a playful, tongue-in-cheek exploration of football’s past, present, and future. From celebrated anecdotes to speculative, completely sincere “facts,” Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson fuse football fandom with sharp wit, turning the sport’s myths and rituals into entertaining storytelling. It’s a lively invitation to fans who love the quirks of clubs, managers, and players as much as a good punchline. Complementing this is And Away…, Mortimer’s candid memoir about a life-changing heart condition in 2015, the Middlesbrough roots that shaped him, and a string of misadventures that reads with warmth, humor, and surprising resilience. Together, the two books form a perfectly balanced duo: a humorous football compendium and a moving personal journey, ideal for fans of Athletico Mince and readers who appreciate humor that travels from the pitch to the heart.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This set captures the essence of Mortimer and Dawson’s collaboration: a blend of affectionate football lore and intimate life storytelling delivered in a voice that fans recognise from the Athletico Mince brand. The World Of Football According To Athletico Mince turns on-the-pitch legends, ridiculous theories, and cultural quirks into engaging, endlessly quotable chapters that feel like a pub chat with two clever, warm guides. And Away... adds a deeply human counterpoint: a memoir told with candour about health, family, and the unexpected moments that reshape a life. The pairing offers a complete reading arc—humour, friendship, risk, and recovery—making it an ideal gift for collectors, gifting occasions, and anyone who loves British humor with genuine heart. Hardcover presentation enhances durability and shelf-appeal, elevating it to a premium, collectible duo.
