Carlo Petrini

Writer

Author of the memoir Nel fango del dio pallone; former Serie A striker whose book recounts doping, match-fixing and the mentality of professional footballers; was among players banned after the 1980 match-fixing trial (as described in the memoir).

Not to be confused with Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement. This Carlo Petrini is presented in his memoir as a former Serie A player and author of an account of football's dark side.

A candid, often brutal memoir by Carlo Petrini about his life as a Serie A striker and the dark side of football. The review praises Petrini's writing while warning readers about the book's emotional impact. The account addresses doping, match-fixing, and a corrosive footballer mentality.

For:Readers interested in football, sports memoirs, and accounts of scandals in sport

 Because "Nel fango del dio pallone" doesn't just limit itself to experiences of doping or fixed matches, as the few who talk about it would like you to believe.
