What people have said about Martin Flanagan’s football writing:
- “Martin Flanagan must never be allowed to stop writing football. I say this because he is the only football writer I have read who is so good I think he could nearly describe a heartbeat - and that, if you want to touch the essence of football, is what you have to do.” - Don Watson
- “If I’m ever prompted, I have no hesitation in nominating Martin Flanagan as my favourite writer… I only hope I can see the game off the field as well as he does.” - Nathan Buckley
- “I like Martin’s writing, and I know most players do too, because he comes from a different perspective.” - James Hird
- “The best of Flanagan has a finesse and feeling that no current Australian sports-writer approaches, let alone equals.” - Gideon Haigh
- “I love his brain.” - Kevin Sheedy
