The Accidental Footballer provides a self-portrait of one of British football's more singular personalities. What does Pat Nevin actually want from life? It seems everything that is decent, upright and truthful, including the fun of playing football, a sport which he represented his country at. But, and I quote, "being a footballer, living the typical footballer's life, wasn't. And I didn't want anything spoiling my love of playing."
