“Reaches levels of interesting I could only dream of” - Steve Davis

“Steve Hill conclusively proves there isn’t more to life than watching sport on TV” - Nigel Adderley, talkSPORT

“A true multiscreen experience - have device, will watch, any sport, any time, any place. A marathon run at a sprinter’s pace sustained by wry humour and infectious enthusiasm” - Jonathan Legard, BBC

“If anyone can convey the humour in the utter futility that is our obsession with watching sport at every possible opportunity, it is Steve Hill. A read more entertaining than much of what he spent his time watching. First Class” - Dave Powell, Liverpool Echo

“The tone of voice is matter of fact, but the sarcastic acceptance of his fate is very funny” - James Brown, loaded founder

Is it possible to watch too much sport? And can you really get square eyes? One Man. 365 days. Multiple screens.

Always different, always the same, the sporting calendar is firmly entrenched in our everyday lives. Astonishingly, some people manage to live in this godforsaken country without this perennial comfort blanket. Steve Hill is not one of them. Utterly dependent on a heady cocktail of live drama simply to make it through the day, Hill's year is dominated by the sporting seasons, each new dawn promising endless, pointless possibilities.

Whether in bed, the bath, or on the sofa, he remains plugged into the matrix on a variety of devices, chasing sport around the globe. On the rare occasions he does leave the house, it's primarily to watch more sport. Interspersed with anecdotes from the basement of journalism, Wall Of Sport is the daily diary of a screen addict. It also provides a comprehensive sporting almanac of the momentous year that was 2018, before the world of sport was turned on its head. Without sport, there is only weather.

If you don't want to know the score, look away now...
