When I won a free £1,000 bet, my friend advised me to put it all on a home win for Fulham. Which is how I ended going to my first football match – and I loved it
I never imagined that going to my first football match would be one of the consequences of writing a feminist book on the history of women’s swimming. But that is what happened. This is how it went.
My book, Swell: A Waterbiography, landed on the William Hill Sports Book of the Year shortlist, for which it gave me a free bet of £1,000. A grand is not a trivial sum of money for me – I have bought cars for less – but I am from arts and crafts stock, and the world of odds is a mystery to me.
