England's FIFA World Cup campaign is almost underway, and supporters can snap up free audiobooks from Three Lions icons with a limited-time deal. It is courtesy of Amazon, which is giving away a free three-month Audible membership in the run-up to its Prime Day event.
Through this promotion, subscribers can access one free audiobook per month, including top-selling football titles such as Paul Gascoigne's autobiography, Eight, and Gareth Southgate's Dear England: Lessons in Leadership. For those caught up in the buzz surrounding this year's tournament, there's a new edition of Inside England: Behind the Scenes of the Three Lions' World Cup Dream, which has been revised and updated to cover the road to '26.
The deal is exclusively available to Amazon Prime members until July 15, while those who sign up here before July 10 will also bag a £10 Audible voucher. Alongside a collection of more than 900,000 bestsellers, latest releases and enduring favourites, Audible subscribers can access unlimited podcasts, including The Rest Is Football and The Overlap.
Following the three-month promotional window, the Audible membership will automatically continue at the standard subscription rate – currently £5.99 per month – unless cancelled. The offer is unavailable to current Audible subscribers or those already taking part in an Audible trial.
Paul Gascoigne's Eight
In Eight, Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne recounts his 'meteoric' ascent as one of England's most talented footballers 35 years after his legendary display at Italia '90. The 'honest, raw [and] moving' autobiography also documents his personal battles and the fight to conquer them.
Gareth Southgate's Dear England
Dear England: Lessons in Leadership sees Southgate disclose the pivotal moments that shaped the leadership approach he embraced as England boss. He also outlines the values that guided his most significant choices and how he operates under fierce pressure as a Premier League skipper, following his penalty miss at Euro '96, and while steering England through four major competitions.
Inside England
Jonathan Northcroft and Rob Draper are the European Football Writer of the Year and the Chief Football Correspondent at the Sunday Times, respectively, and in Inside England, they trace the journey from Southgate's appointment through to Tuchel's era and the path to '26. The journalists have enjoyed access to the England squad under both bosses while examining England's transformation both on and off the field.
For those favouring a physical copy, paperback editions of each title are available at Waterstones. Meanwhile, Spotify Premium subscribers can enjoy 15 hours of audiobooks monthly at no additional charge, with a further 15 hours accessible via the platform's Audiobooks+.
Reader Reviews
For those taking advantage of Amazon's three-month Audible offer, England fans have given Gazza's Eight a 4.7-star rating. One said: "That was a brilliant book, definitely written from the heart. It had me crying and laughing, it was almost like Gazza was sat in the room." Another said: "An amazing book not just for football fans, full of laughter, tears, joy and heartbreak." Despite giving it five stars, this reviewer felt the book was 'spoiled' by bad language: "Eight by Paul Gascoigne, perfectly narrated by David Nellist. The bad language did spoil it for me." While another said: "This is just brilliant to get the real story from the main man himself. A great listen for any football fan."
