*********Update, Tuesday 1.30pm - Just 13 tickets left until we sell out *********

The Chelsea, Everton, Scotland (and now BBC 5 Live) legend Pat Nevin joins us in Brighton to launch his new memoir, with a special In Conversation evening. 

'Football and How to Survive It' is the follow-up to 2021's acclaimed 'The Accidental Footballer' and traces Pat's journey into a less glamorous side of football. From Tranmere to Kilmarnock, he plays some of the best football he’s ever played - but what happens when, in a strange twist of fate, Pat finds himself both player and Chief Executive of Scottish First Division club Motherwell?

It is an entertaining and revealing tale of a rarely-seen side of football, a book that celebrates the game in all its complex and confusing glory.

Pat will be discussing his career and both his memoirs at the Wagner Hall, Brighton, on Tuesday June 13. 

Pat - you'll know - is known as one of the most interesting and literate voices in football, a music fan as likely to be found DJing at alternative nights as appearing as a pundit on BBC 5 Live. In a 20-year career, he played for Clyde, Chelsea, Everton, Tranmere Rovers, Kilmarnock and Motherwell, before retiring in 2000. He won 28 caps for Scotland,

Wagner Hall is ten minutes' walk straight down from Brighton station towards the seafront.

Pat will be in conversation with Brighton Talk Nights host Duncan Steer, whose previous guests have included musicians Nick Lowe and Baxter Dury, adventurer Emily Chappell and Tour de France star Steve Cummings.

There will be a chance to ask your own questions.

Tickets are £13, or we have a special advance book-and-ticket offer of £27 (RRP of the book is £22.)

‘The good news for those who loved THE ACCIDENTAL FOOTBALLER: this new book is even better. There were times as I read Pat Nevin’s account of his years running – or, trying to run – Motherwell, I had to remind myself to breathe. It’s a thrilling read – funny, nerve-wracking, precise and very, very human’ – Roddy Doyle
