In its review, ''The Independent'' said, "Buckley's bitingly funny portrait of East Anglian society make up for the laddish commentary." ''The Times'' commented briefly that the novel was "prescient", "showing great understanding of the world of professional football", while it was characterized in ''The Telegraph'' as "hugely entertaining and acute". In December 2010, Buckley (a qualified barrister) joined Norwich law firm Leathes Prior as a consultant.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Will Buckley - Consultant )〕 ==Controversy== In August 2009, Buckley accused Test Match Special presenter Jonathan Agnew of being "pervy" towards Lily Allen, who Agnew was interviewing for a segment on the BBC Radio 4 show, and was criticised by both Agnew and Allen — who described her interviewer as being "kind and gentlemanly" — as well as by many readers who left comments on his article.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Will Buckley (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
