Melissa Reddy’s biography of Mo Salah fails to connect with the essence of modern footballing hero worship.
FO Take · Score 35
Another hagiography of a sporting idol. This biography likely glosses over the uncomfortable truths of professional football, offering a sanitised narrative for mass consumption. We crave authenticity, not another ghost-written, PR-polished puff piece. Does anyone truly believe this portrays the "Egyptian King" in all his complex glory, or just the marketable version?
