Synopsis
This is an affectionate history of a peculiar but compelling phenomenon; an almost football club called The Young Thrusters. An organisation held together, loosely, by little more than imagination and a series of interweaving, and sometimes obscure, friendships. But from so little so much was to come. In 1973 the Young Thrusters football team was created from the ruins of the defunct Bristol Royal Infirmary team. It consisted of a few enthusiasts, access to hospital playing fields and a set of ancient nylon all-blue kit. The story traces the forty years from the formation of the club up until a massive reunion which took place at The Pump House on Bristol Docks in 2013. It mixes compelling trivia such as scores, scorers and appearances; stirred in with anecdotes from tours, Annual General Meetings and humorous incidents along the way. There are numerous original pictures of teams, individuals and artefacts. Above all it is about the characters who made up the circus which is the Young Thrusters and the enduring friendships that were forged.
