What people have said about Martin Flanagan’s football writing:
“Martin Flanagan must never be allowed to stop writing football. I say this because he is the only football writer I have read who is so good I think he could nearly describe a heartbeat - and that, if you want to touch the essence of football, is what you have to do.”
- Don Watson
“If I’m ever prompted, I have no hesitation in nominating Martin Flanagan as my favourite writer… I only hope I can see the game off the field as well as he does.”
- Nathan Buckley
“I like Martin’s writing, and I know most players do too, because he comes from a different perspective.”
- James Hird
“The best of Flanagan has a finesse and feeling that no current Australian sports-writer approaches, let alone equals.”
- Gideon Haigh
“I love his brain.”
- Kevin Sheedy
