The Secret Footballer was still playing as late as 2011. He is English, has played for at least two Premier League clubs and was relegated from the top flight on the final day of the season.

Silver Fox As mentioned elsewhere Kits was indeed playing as late as 2011 but he was playing for another 4 years after that so it seems like a really odd turn of phrase

marlowuk The BBC currently has an article about the 'Secret Footballer' which is interesting - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43680519 .
It seems he is thinking of 'outing' himself before someone else does and I'm sure most of us would be surprised if it were other than our own Dave Kitson. Apparently he has had things rough (mentally) recently which is sad to hear. I always thought he was one of the good guys if a bit of a loner.

biff Have it on player authority that it is indeed Kitson.

I was at the recent Kitson RFCFPA do at the Tilehurst BL, Kits did pretty much deny it wasn't him. Could have been a smokescreen of course.

I'd buy Kitson's autobiography anyway, I reckon it would be a good read.

Agreed, think it would be very entertaining. Maybe with a forward by Glen Little?

Next stage after TSF "coming out" would be identifying the players and coaches etc he is referring to. Can imagine some would not be too happy about it.
I've enjoyed what I've read from the books/columns, but think Kitson doesn't have totally accurate recall, and has a small forest of chips on his shoulder, so I'm not sure how much I'd trust what he says anyway. Wasn't it him that moaned the 106 team were never invited back by Reading for anything, and people responded with tweets and pictures of times he'd been invited back....

TSF and the publishers can still be sued by those named in the book - just like I can be sued if I write something libellous under this fake username.tmesismuirinhoForbury Lion presumably not one from Graeme Murty though, assuming Dave is the secret footballer.

If he doesn't want to be outed as TSF due to possible legal implications, it does mean none of the potentially dodgy bits could be in his autobiography either.

Unless he writes about being TSF and how he made up a story about x y z based on similar experiences that may or may not have happened that he can not possibly discuss due to possible libel action...... let the readers fill in the blanks and connect the dots.tmesismuirinhoForbury Lion presumably not one from Graeme Murty though, assuming Dave is the secret footballer.
