The author: All of the products sold on the Man of The Match shop are 100% unofficial (unless stated), made by football fans for football fans. With over 100,000 followers across all social media platforms, including J. Poems by Simon Armitage, Tiffany Atkinson, Claire Crowther, Elaine Feeney, Miriam Gamble, Seamus Heaney, Gill Learner, Ian McMillan, Sean O’Brien, Conor O’Callaghan, George Szirtes and Sarah Wardle. There’s a poem capturing the romance of children playing street football until it’s almost too dark to see the ball, and another in which going to the match is a rite of passage for an immigrant boy seeking to belong. But what can I do? It includes many of 20th century Scotland's best known poets such as Hugh MacDiarmid, Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith and Jackie Kay. Perfect for football fans of all ages - from the young footie fanatic to a been-to-every-game-grandma, and every 'I could've been a pro' in between.
