Be on the ball with this game-changing footy favourite
Alright, mate, how’s it going?
Believe it or not, I haven’t always been football mad. But then FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 came out. FIFA inevitably led to Football Manager. And that’s where I started getting properly hooked.
Now I’m a football club owner who’s played to 20,000 people at Wembley Stadium and travelled the world with my team, Hashtag United. And the best bit of all? I’m not even that good.
So, how on earth did this happen? How did someone who spent his life playing computer games and making YouTube videos pull it off?
I’m hardly sure myself, but here’s my attempt to tell the story.

The official autobiography from YouTuber turned... well, I'm not really sure? Spencer has dabbled in so many different genres of media that you'd struggle to try and piece it all together, so he does it for you. Follow his interesting life right from the early days, through to working for Vincent Kompany, and on to his current successes on YouTube and beyond.
For someone who might not know much about him, or have seen his content, you'd possibly not be as invested in Spencer's life as a fan would. I mean, why would you read the autobiography of someone you don't know?! But for, and as, someone who has followed him for a while, it's interesting to see in a little more detail a lot of the stories and experiences he has shared during videos.
And that's possibly the only criticism I can throw at our Spence. His life is largely available to hear about on his YouTube channel, and as such the book simply fleshes those stories out. There's no huge revelations that come out of it, and thus is a nice tale to read, but isn't going to change your perspective or fascinate you unknowingly.

Spencer FC isn't a natural writer and doesn't have much of a writing style. His is only a moderately interesting story but as an introduction into a world I knew absolutely nothing about, the world of football YouTubers, I did find myself quite engaged at times.

4 stars but only because I've watched Spencer's YouTube channel since 2014-2015. Interesting book as a fan, but not sure if anyone else would like it.
