That is an enormous evidence-free link. All-seater stadiums (following Hillsborough) and Sky were far more influential. That match was on a Friday night, and if I remember correctly, Hornby was a teacher in London at the time. That match was when his addiction to football began, and what he described (the sounds, smells of beer and cigarette smoke, the swearing) is something most fans of a certain age can relate immediately to.

I just finished reading Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. Last year I read his novel All The Light We Cannot See, a story set during World War Two about a blind French girl and a young German soldier. It took me a while to get into that novel, but once it gripped, it wouldn't let go. Cloud Cuckoo Land has a similar appeal: it was one of my Christmas presents, and I started it and put it down a couple of times; about ten days ago, I gave it more of a go, and once again I found it really hard to put down. The main characters are all outsiders, and separated by centuries: a young boy and girl on either side of the sack of Constantinople in 1453, a teenage idealist and an 80-something teacher in the period 1945 to 2022, and a young girl, decades in the future, on an interplanetary spacecraft. Like All The Light... the chapters, which are very short, alternate between the different characters and across time-zones, with an ancient text fascinating each of them in its own way. The ending is brilliant, bringing each of the characters a kind of closure and (in a sense) redemption: absolutely brilliant read, beautifully written and highly recommended. Incidentally, All The Light We Cannot See has been made into a mini-series by Netflix. I'm going to watch it this week, and I'll post a review on the relevant topic.
