1993 saw the start of the England cricket team's worst ever streak. It was also - inexplicably - the moment Emma John fell utterly in love with them.

Paperback. Etat : Good. It?s one thing to be 14 years old and a loser. It?s one thing to be the class swot, and hopelessly infatuated with someone who doesn?t know you exist. But what kind of teenager is besotted with an entire sports team ? when the players are even bigger losers than she is?In 1993, while everyone else was learning Oasis lyrics and crushing on Kate Moss or Keanu, Emma John was obsessing over the England cricket team. She spent her free time making posters of the players she adored. She spent her pocket money on Panini stickers of them, and followed their progress with a single-mindedness that bordered on the psychopathic.The primary object of her affection: Michael Atherton, a boyishly handsome captain who promised to lead his young troops to glory. But what followed was one of the worst sporting streaks of all time ? a decade of frustration, dismay and comically bungling performances that made the England cricket team a byword for British failure.Nearly a quarter of a century on, Emma John wants to know why she spent her teenage years defending such a bunch of no-hopers. She seeks out her childhood heroes with two questions: why did they never win? And why on earth did she love them so much? N° de réf. du vendeur CIN1472916891G
