Reviews

Time Out
The best pieces in this collection have a real whiff of the obsessional about them ... there is much humour here, much of the deadpan and the rapturous
Esquire
An original and engaging anthology of football writing
Sunday Times
Contains enough laughter and pain on its pages to keep the normally insane football fan happy
Daily Mirror
Fascinatingly varied ... a wonderfully readable collection
