About the Book

A football fan's wild ride across nine World Cups. From street cafés in Italy to cruise ships in Qatar, That World Cup Guy is a funny, heartfelt travelogue full of unforgettable moments, strange encounters and the magic of the world's greatest tournament.

Book Synopsis

That World Cup Guy is a joyful, unpredictable journey through more than 40 years of football fandom, following 'viral' star Andy Milne as he travels across the globe to attend nine World Cups - eight men's and one women's. From sharing beers with drug smugglers in Zimbabwe to falling off an ostrich in South Africa, Andy's stories go far beyond the pitch. He captures the soul of the tournament - the fans, the culture, the food - and the unforgettable people he meets along the way. Whether he's impersonating a reporter to sneak into a stadium or stranded in a favela in a car full of Germans, Andy's love of football, travel and human connection is at the heart of every tale. Told with warmth, humour and a deep affection for the beautiful game, this is a fan's-eye view of the World Cup like no other.
