Todd Smith launches Relegated

For fans of Ted Lasso and Welcome to Wrexham, this rollicking travel memoir by a middle-aged Midwesterner is a hilarious and heartfelt journey through the United Kingdom, its football clubs, and the rich traditions of English football culture.

Todd Smith is a Ted Lasso-esque figure: a Midwestern dad with deep life experience and an endless supply of pop culture references. He is the director of a landscaping supply yard in south Minneapolis, the author of Hockey Strong: Stories of Sacrifice from Inside the NHL, and the cowriter of Brave Enough with Olympian Jessie Diggins. A longtime contributor for the Minnesota Wild, his work has also appeared in The Rake, Minnesota Monthly, and Twin Cities METRO Magazine, where he penned a print column and blog on modern manhood and fatherhood. Smith runs the Donkey Soccer League, a Sunday morning game for assorted nitwits and out-of-shape, middle-aged scalawags in Minneapolis, where Smith lives with his wife and son.
