Whatever Will Be, Will Be – A Matter of Life and Football

On the brink of turning 40, Felix White sets out to watch a match from every round of the F.A. Cup, meeting fans, players and dreamers at every level of the English game. As he travels the country, football becomes a way to explore memory, identity, grief and joy. While he reflects on his own lifelong obsessions, his story becomes a unique expression of how the game communicates something vital, both literal and internal, between a child and an adult.

Told with lyrical wit and heartfelt honesty, Whatever Will Be, Will Be is more than just a story about football – it's about growing up, holding on and the strange ways sport connects us all. Published in 2025.
