A two-part portrait of Neville Southall on and beyond the pitch

Built around an extensive interview in Carmarthen, this biography approaches Neville Southall through two complementary lines of conversation. One half addresses his football life, while the other turns to everyday subjects, creating a portrait that reaches beyond his career as a goalkeeper for Everton and Wales. Southall also discusses his move away from football and his use of Twitter, describing the direct exchange of questions and answers that drew him to the platform. The book’s interview-based structure foregrounds his own observations alongside the biographical frame.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of Everton and Wales football history
  • Readers interested in goalkeeper Neville Southall’s life beyond football
  • Those who enjoy sports biographies shaped around extended interviews

Book overview

''I like when I ask questions and I don't want to find stuff out. I want the answers straight away, I don't want to be waiting for hours and hours and hours. So Twitter suited me down to the ground because within five seconds normally somebody came back and gave me an answer. It might not always be the answer I like but I always got an answer and I think I like that side of it. For me to move from football into doing what I'm doing now, I think it's because I got to talk to people I never talked to in my life had I stayed in football'' Neville Southall on why he uses Twitter This was to be a stress-free, relaxed day in Carmarthen, Wales, for this legend, who was arguably the world's best goalkeeper in the 1980s, as he takes a break from his consuming travelling. Southall listens while it is explained that our interview will be like no other that he has taken part in. It would be conducted in two halves. John would discuss the football side of stuff and I would be asking random every day to day questions and we settle down for one of the most exhaustive and unusual conversations we've ever had.
