Based in Middlesbrough, Linthorpe Publishing was established in the summer of 2006 and is one of the United Kingdom’s leading producers of locally published books.

Already in a growing stable you can you can be taken back to 1986 when Middlesbrough FC ceased to exist. To Eindhoven when the team reached the UEFA Cup final. See the world as Bernie Slaven sees it in words and dvd and relive commentary and tales from Alastair Brownlee’s 25 years behind the mic in a book which contains a free cd with 55 minutes worth of commentary in his unique style.

And look back while looking ahead with a remarkably priced calendar featuring former Boro stars from over a century of history.

The latest addition is Scarves and Sombreros written by Mark Schwarzer and Neil Montagnana-Wallace, the follow-up to Megs and the Vootball Kids, with a foreword by Brazilian football legend Pele. Megs and the Vootball Kids a magical tale about a young boy born in England but raised in Australia. He didn’t know anything about his new home, except that it was a long way away, it was sunny, there were kangaroos, his friends weren’t there, and they called football ‘soccer’. What was there to look forward to about that?

Football is an international password, and football just happens to be something Edward Morrison loves - but the school has no proper team, because no one is available to coach.

Megs makes an unlikely friend of a quirky old Hungarian school cleaner, but will he ever make friends his own age? Will he ever feel at home on the other side of the planet? And with no school team, how will Megs quench his thirst for competitive football?

Megs and The Vootball Kids is a story about persistence, dedication and overcoming obstacles.

It’s about making a difference whatever your background... and it’s about football. Linthorpe Publishing are the sole UK distributors for Megs and the Vootball Kids.
