Revue de presse :
Some have tainted him as a laptop vigilante, but really, they should read his book and weep
Rick Broadbent, The Times

A heart-wrenching read
FourFourTwo

Incredibly moving and brilliantly understated... lays bare the culture of institutionalised neglect that all English football-goers in the 80s came to expect, which by the end of the decade would claim more than 150 lives
Brian Reade, Daily Mirror

Heart-rending before it is controversial
Matt Dickinson, The Times

Fifty-Six is a superb, moving and necessary piece of work... Fletcher s account of the worst fire disaster in footballing history has been justly acclaimed as a painstaking, moving and enraging piece of journalism
When Saturday Comes

Comprehensive, compelling, credible... must not be ignored
Morning Star

Fletcher s forensic trawl resulted in a damning dossier which has raised questions which cannot be ignored
Mike Keegan, Daily Mail

The obvious question is why so much publicly accessible detail has never come out before; it is also Fletcher s principal question
Daniel Taylor, Guardian

Above all else, it is a beautifully observed and incredibly detailed memoir of a son s relationship with the father he lost at the age of 12
Ian Herbert, Independent

It read like a David Peace novel
Sam Wallace, Sunday Supplement

Fletcher s account of how that dreadful day unfolded makes painful reading; it could have been any of us setting on a family day out to the football --Anton Rippon, Sports Journalists Association
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award.

On May 11 1985, fifty-six people died in a devastating fire at Bradford City s old Valley Parade ground. It was truly horrific, a startling story and wholly avoidable but it had only the briefest of inquiries, and it seemed its lessons were not learned.

Twelve-year-old Martin Fletcher was at Valley Parade that day, celebrating Bradford s promotion to the second flight, with his dad, brother, uncle and grandfather. Martin was the only one of them to survive the fire the biggest loss suffered by a single family in any British football disaster.

In later years, Martin devoted himself to extensively investigating how the disaster was caused, its culture of institutional neglect and the government s general indifference towards football fans safety at the time. This book tells the gripping, extraordinary in-depth story of a boy s unthinkable loss following a spring afternoon at a football match, of how fifty-six people could die at a game, and of the truths he unearthed as an adult. This is the story thirty years on of the disaster football has never properly acknowledged.
