When You're Smiling is the story of a football team's journey from also-rans to champions and a football fan's journey from boy to man, through laughter, loss and home defeats. Monday, 2 May 2016 was a day Matt Bozeat thought he would never see. It was the day Leicester City, the team he had supported through thin and thinner all his life, were crowned Premier League champions. The story of the 5,000-1 outsiders winning one of European football's top prizes put a smile on the face of millions worldwide. Three days earlier, Matt had experienced an even greater miracle. When You're Smiling is a nostalgia-filled treat brimming with memories of football and the wider world in the 1980s and 90s. It's a book about belonging and thinking your dreams will never come true - and then they do come true.
Matt Bozeat was still at school when he started writing for local newspapers, and over the last three decades he has written for the Leicester Mercury, Northampton Chronicle and Echo, The Guardian, the Sunday Mirror and many other local and national publications. He has penned numerous sports books - on the topics of boxing, darts and of course Leicester City.
