Featured in The Scotsman's Sport Books of 2020, Extra Time is a captivating collection of lyrical sweet-nothings whispered to late goals, local radio commentators, referees falling over, and 47 other reminders of why we love football. Despite its flaws and excesses, modern football still holds simple yet beguiling delights. In his previous book, Saturday, 3pm, Daniel Gray captured many of these moments. Now, he returns with a further 50 short essays of prose poetry dedicated to the charming, technicolor minutiae of the game. From club lottos to undeserved wins, and from pitch-invading animals to the roar after a minutes silence, Extra Time is a romantic celebration of football fandom and its shared joys, habits, eccentricities, and peculiarities. It is a salute to keepers going forward for corners, match balls landing on stand roofs, and goals scored in quick succession. These chapters offer a gleeful antidote to disillusionment with modern football, VAR, and all. They remind us of why we care and justify our devotion. Each warmly evokes this sport's blessed capacity to offer escape and diversion. Let us share the delight once more.
