Basically a book about North East footy....dont let that put you off

 

It is the best footy book I have ever read and is hilarious......

 

Esp the start...he is a Boro Fan and he opens his book like this

 

"I support Middlesborough, and when people ask me why I say "it's because I am a glory hunter". That isnt the real reason, the real reason is that I was born a few miles out side the town, in a village called great Ayton. Captain James Cook went to school in Great Ayton. We had all known about Capt James Cook since the day we were born, before, practically. He was the greatest man in the history of Cleveland. He visited Hawaii, landed at Botany Bay, made the first map of New Zealand. It's quite poignant, when you think about it, that the most important figure in my home towns history should be famous for getting as far away from it as was humanly possible."

 

never a truer word spoken

 

 

Buy it, steal it....read it..its ace
