David Goldblatt

David Goldblatt is a British author, journalist and academic who is one of the world's foremost writers on the social, political and cultural history of sport. He has written extensively about football, the Olympics and the relationship between sport and society. His books include The Ball is Round, a monumental history of world football, and The Games, a history of the modern Olympics. Injury Time examines what is going wrong with football — and by extension, with modern sport — as money, corruption, inequality and exploitation threaten to destroy the things that make sport worth caring about. Goldblatt writes with the knowledge of a sports historian and the passion of a lifelong fan. Available as both a book and an audiobook — narrated by Goldblatt himself — Injury Time offers essential listening and reading for football fans, sports enthusiasts and anyone concerned about the future of the games we love.
