The Nowhere Men

What makes a great footballer?

Football scouts are the men with the answers, as they scour the country looking for the best players, however are notoriously hard to question. These men are everywhere yet nowhere, as they remain hidden and anonymous. They are faceless, nameless members of football's last hidden tribe.

The Nowhere Men opens up their secret world. It examines the scouts' disconnected lifestyles, the cumulative effect of bad diet, ill-suppressed stress and long, lonely hours on the road. It exposes the idiosyncrasies and insecurities of an incestuous community, reveals its tensions and its triumphs as it struggles against modernity and provides the answers about the players that we are dying to know.
