Tuesday, November 24 Today's Guests: Phil Ball, Tim Vickery --- Phil Ball Phil Ball is an Englishman who has lived in the north of Spain since 1991. He is the author of ‘Morbo: The Story of Spanish Football’, and ‘White Storm: The Story of Real Madrid’, both of them firsts in the English language. He has also written ‘An Englishman Abroad’ which deals with Beckham’s first year in Spain, and has written a weekly column on ESPN’s ‘Soccernet’ site for the last seven years. A diehard supporter of Grimsby Town, who reside in the nether regions of the English league, he dedicates himself to relatively trivial pursuits in his spare time, such as working as a University lecturer and writing educational materials for the autonomous Basque Government. He has also written a comedy entitled ‘The Hapless Teacher’s Handbook’, and is currently working on a new book about the 1st Gulf War, in which he accidentally participated. --- Tim Vickery, Columnist and a god. The son of a reasonably skilled amateur footballer, Tim Vickery inherited all of the enthusiasm and none of the talent. But the game helped to hone his literary skills; despite never making it out of England until his mid-20s he could spell Czechoslovakia (a sadly redundant skill these days) by the age of 7 - all based on the fact that they had made it to two World Cup finals. Since 1994 he has been based in Brazil, and he covers South American football for the BBC, World Soccer magazine, Sports Illustrated and SBS in Australia. --- WFD is daily, 10am - 1130am PST.
