You don't have to like football to enjoy this book!

What a surprise, this book is lovely. Real nostalagia. Personally i can't stand football, but this book is actually about the events, people and freindships the football is pretty secondary. The story is written from the childs perspective and then reflects from the writer as an adult point of view. It reminds you of all those wonderfully silly things you said as a child like "lets call ourselves cemetry rovers, that'll SCARE the opposition". and the naughty things you did like steel as somebodys fence to make a bonfire, and the guilt of your mum sticking up for you.
It is a real pleasure when you can see where some of the larger than life characters come from in his childrens books.
Buy this book and you will get a smile on your face.
