Afshin Peyrovani interested in releasing his memoir



12 February 2013

Afshin Peyrovani, a retired Iranian footballer and a football coach, is interested in releasing his memoir.

IBNA: Talking about the publication of sportsperson’s memories, Afshin Peyrovani said: “In Iran, unfortunately, the publication of footballer’s memoir isn’t common; while noted foreign footballers like Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney have released books about their professional life which have been welcomed warmly indeed.”

Iranian publishers encounter several problems for the publication of such books; their publication is costly and on the other hand we still fail to know that will the readers welcome such books, he added.

Former Iranian national soccer captain noted: “Sports should be looked through a scientific window. I have read some of football coaching books which were released during the resent years which I believe should be improved scientifically.”

Talking about supervising the publication of such books, he added: “It seems that books of football coaching aren’t supervised in Iran which can indeed have negative effects.”

Every second of my professional life is a memory and since I heard that some noted footballers intend to write their memories, I decided to write mine after theirs. In other words I don’t like to be the first writer of football memories in Iran.

The Role of Objects in Oral Narrative

Philosophers refer to anything that exists—or possesses the potential to exist—as an object. This concept may manifest in material forms, abstract notions, and even human emotions and lived experiences. In other words, an object encompasses a vast spectrum of beings and phenomena, each endowed with particular attributes and characteristics, and apprehensible in diverse modalities.
