Story of football's unsung talent-spotters is voted Sports Book of the Year

Michael Calvin's The Nowhere Men: The Unknown Story of Football's True Talent-Spotters was selected as the winner of The Times Sports Book of the Year award by public vote
Michael Calvin said: 'Being named as The Times Sports Book of the Year is a huge honour, and I hope its success is seen as collective rather than personal. The Nowhere Men would not have been written without the trust of a group of men who deserve to be hailed as football’s hidden heroes.'
The Nowhere Men was chosen by a public vote from the winners in eight sports-writing categories. Michael was awarded the prize last night, at the Sports Book of the Year Awards.
