Peter Seddon

Reading Peter Seddon's Football talk book has helped me answer the 'Why do I like football question'. It is all about the history of the game - my liking of it rather than Seddon's book. Football talk is interesting despite this 2004 edition being out of date. It precedes the impact social media has had on the way we all talk about football and the influx of foreign players and managers and the way they speak. It is too early for the sudden explosion of interest in women's football. However, what I was intending to refer to was Seddon quoting Percy Young who in the 1950s said something like this: 'if you can take something that is not important seriously, i.e. football then it is much easier to take important things seriously'. I fully agree with that and believe that this applies to millions of people who watch football today
