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.

Clarifying the Current Situation; Perspectives of the Oral History Website

The definition of a “journalist” and the profession of “journalism” is not limited to simply “gathering,” “editing,” and “publishing breaking news.” Such an approach aligns more with the work done in news agencies and news websites. But now, after years of working in the field of books for various news agencies, newspapers, and magazines, when I look back, I realize that producing and compiling content for ...
