Weep blue tears
|
|
Yes, I wept when I had finished this book; tears for my long-passed youth, tears for the stars like Ossie and Hutch no longer with us but most of all tears for the very human way which this brilliantly shining team spluttered out into disintegration through disagreements, misunderstandings and the odd bit of bad luck. If you are about 40+ this will particularly strike a chord. And the description of a game between the Chelsea and QPR teams of the time - Ossie, Chopper and co vs Francis and the Emperor of West London, Stanley Bowles. THAT is what time machines are for.
