Synopsis

It doesn’t matter who you support, how long you have been into football, or how old you are; being a football fan is all about the emotion. It’s not in the least bit logical, otherwise everyone would support Barcelona or Liverpool and then switch teams every few years (some do of course). Truly passionate fans nail their colours to their team’s flag and that’s it. Through thick and thin, you are hooked, so you might as well go along for the ride.

Richard Walters celebrates what it is to be a football fan in England and reflects on the passion, pleasure and pain, with some friends and fans of several clubs around the country, with stories, memories and reflections over 55 years. We cover the pain and pleasure of first matches, bitter rivalries, away day jaunts, the blood and thunder of the 1970s, gut wrenching moments, old school hooliganism, 50 plus years of England hurt, the keyboard era, money, money and much more. You will re-live your own memories along the way and let’s face-it; once smitten with the passion, we are all suckers for those highs and lows!
