Football in Sun and Shadow

Galeano can run rings round our glamorous football intelligentsia.

When Saturday Comes

Stands out like Pele on a field of second-stringers.

New Yorker

Galeano has a style of a great left half. He constantly switches the direction of play. His observations are acute. He delivers with an air of insouciance which cannot mask his mastery

Herald

Uplifting, reckless, ironic, impassioned... sparkles with supple imagery and a fine dry wit.

Independent

Deeply humane . . . he has produced literature that will endure, monuments to the imagination
