About

David Bolchover

David Bolchover’s latest book is Digging Deep, which recounts the untold life stories of eleven Jewish international footballers from across Europe – icons one minute, and marked for extermination the next.

Digging Deep follows on from the success of his previous book, The Greatest Comeback, a biography of the great Jewish football coach Béla Guttmann. The title was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year and translated into several languages.

David has also written three business books – Pay Check, The Living Dead and The 90-Minute Manager – and contributed to several leading newspapers. As well as his bylined work, he works with management consultancies and other companies to help shape and improve their articles and white papers.

Digging Deep

Digging Deep excavates a destroyed civilisation. Drawing on years of painstaking research, it pieces together the untold stories of eleven Jewish football greats – icons one moment, marked for extermination the next. Setting exhilarating sporting triumphs against the gathering darkness of twentieth-century Europe, it restores these forgotten men to their rightful place in the football pantheon..

Meticulously researched, elegantly crafted, Digging Deep serves both as a profoundly moving tribute and as a salutary reminder – at this dangerous moment of rising anti-Semitism – to keep the memory of these murdered Jewish players alive.
