Jack Grealish’s calves, ‘freaky uncle’ Louis van Gaal, the undeniable gayness of women’s football, and Egyptian ultras are all brought together in this, the ‘Sex & Love’ issue of our favourite football mag.
A natural theme for a title so driven by the intensity of emotions felt for the game, you’ll find a sultry, summertime offering of kisses, a love letter to the French national team of the 80s, the highs and lows of Merthyr Town, 35 fictional first dates, and Tim Vickery’s tour of Rio de Janeiro.
