Reviews:
Excellent, bloody excellent. By turns hilarious, tragic and chillingly honest. Just possibly the best book about one man and his team since ‘Fever Pitch’. Steven Wells, NME.

As I am just a nipper at 23, I only attended my first game in 1992, but even the bits I have no recollection of (i.e. 70s and 80s stuff) is fantastic and really describes how fans felt at certain points in the club’s history. Andy Wood, CFM Presenter and Producer.

The most inventive football memoir you’re likely to read. Cassie d’Avione, X-treme
