Every Boy’s Dream – England’s Football Future on the Line (A&C Black, 2009)

“A copy should be on the desk of every manager, coach and club proprietor in the country.”
The Daily Telegraph

“Green skilfully analyses the successes and deficiencies of the academy system….and laments the futile recruitment of infants.”
The Guardian

“Chris Green has uncovered a totally disconnection between the game’s top brass and kids at the sharp end…..his book is full of stories of boys cast aside with no thought.”
When Saturday Comes

“Buy this brilliant book – and do it now!”
Steve Bunce, BBC Radio London

“A vital read….Green asks the questions that we should be asking.”
Squarefootball.com

Cyrille Regis – My Story (Andre Deutsch, 2010)

“Thoughtfully measured and discussing everything from racism to religion and the history of French Guiana, the powerful centre forward’s story is under threat of being dry. But brash honesty and a real insight into his wilderness years make this a worthwhile read.”

Four Four Two magazine

“A wonderful account of Cyrille’s incident-packed career and life.”

Express and Star

“While the story of his birth in French Guiana and upbringing on the mean streets of London is an interesting one, not to mention his boozing and womanising, it is the thorny issue of race which really hits the spot with this book.”

Janine Self, Sports Journalists’ Association

Matchday: What Makes Saturday Special? (Highdown, 2005)

“The concept of this book is intriguing … a dynamic read.”
FourFourTwo magazine

“Inspiring … laudable, timely, exploring the mysterious heart of the game more effectively that any number of Super Sundays.”
When Saturday Comes
“A vivid, multi-faceted account of football’s place in contemporary Britain.”
Financial Times

“A wonderful portrait of modern British obsession.”
Daily Telegraph

“Absolutely superb.”
Non-League Daily.com

“A highly readable, relentless and ambitious drama.”
The Independent

The Sack Race: The Story of Football Gaffers (Mainstream 2002)

“Green’s research is meticulous, his interviews are revealing…. well thought-out and well argued.”
The Sunday Times

“Weighty stuff requiring intellectual flexibility, a thoughtful book full of good anecdotes and historical insight.”
When Saturday Comes

“Read and learn.”
Sports Illustrated
