From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Winner is an English author and journalist.
His best-known books are Those Feet: An Intimate History of English Football (2005), and Brilliant Orange, the Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football (2000).
Brilliant Orange explains why the soccer players of the Netherlands play beautifully but lose their most important matches. He analyses other elements of Dutch life and culture, such as their flat flooding-prone land, unusual taste in art, and their experiences in World War 2.
Winner also co-wrote The Coming of The Greens (1988) (with Jonathon Porritt), a study of environmentalism in the United Kingdom.
