Articles of Faith - Russell Brand

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

This collection of Russell Brand’s columns for The Guardian not only follows the drama and tumult of the domestic and international football season but also a year in the life of one of our most celebrated comic talents. Russell chronicles events both on and off the pitch as he travels between Upton park and Hollywood as matches are won and lost and his faith in his beloved West Ham is tested, while the palette of company he keeps stretches from Morrissey to Gallagher to Gascoigne and back again. The Departure of Mourinho sparks reminiscences of the shapely bottom of a previous girlfriend while the fate of West Ham is seen in parallel with the workings of his legendary libido… A laugh-out-loud read for footie fans or Russell maniacs.
