Pat Nevin interview: 'Nothing in the world ever worries me except that'

Anyone who has listened to Pat Nevin, the pundit, will be aware that he is an astute and acerbic observer of football.

“Life has moved on,” Pat Nevin says when he explains why he has written a memoir. More precisely, Nevin has written a second memoir, Football and How to Survive It.

The book is a nod to Life and How to Survive It, written by John Cleese and Robyn Skinner. Nevin’s book could have had the same title, because it is really about surviving life and what life throws at you as much as it deals with the dysfunction of football.
