PASSES DOWN THE LINE is a light-hearted look at the game of football as it follows the writer, his family and his friend’s links to 3 famous football clubs: Lincoln City, Manchester United, and Peterborough United.
It is a nostalgic narrative of the game through the ages with amusing anecdotes from Victorian times up to the present day.
The sport that shaped his life started with the author’s Great-Great Uncle Fred who was a Lincoln City player in the 1890s. The saying that ‘old footballers never die they just don’t score as often’ is particularly true of this not-so-famous, but still fascinating footballing relative.
Steve Holt’s football journey takes him through the highs and lows, the pain and pleasure, and the tears and laughter that football fans everywhere will understand. With humour, he follows his teams in the ‘beautiful game’ going from a supporter on the terraces to a Board Director position, which included his Chairmanship of one of those clubs.
It is a chronicle of how the simple game of football touched one family and impacted its future generations.
The title also gives a nod to his playing position of left-back, as this funny tale still PASSES DOWN THE LINE.
