Product Description

Product Description

If meat pie millionaire Joe Price had never bought lowly Coca-Cola League Two side Frogley Town and vowed to take them all the way to the top of the Premiership, if football fanatic Stanley Sutton hadn’t dyed his dog Fentonbottom in the club’s colours, if team manager Big Donny Donnelly hadn’t had the acquisition of a mistress as his main priority, if local radio presenter Dave Rave and Frogley Advertiser sports journalist Martin Sneed hadn’t wanted to chase their dreams, if the inmates of the local lunatic asylum hadn’t numbered themselves among Frogley Town’s keenest supporters and if Frogley police chief Superintendent Screwer hadn’t sworn to rid the town of football hooligans, none of this would ever have happened. But unfortunately they all did. Football Crazy – a comic tale of football, sex, madness, sex, violence, and more sex. If you like the books of Tom Sharpe you will love this book by Terry Ravenscroft. Soccer as you've never known it before.

Football Crazy - you'd be crazy not to try it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gas 30 Dec 2010
By Eamonn Harrigan
Format:Paperback
I read this from cover to cover with barely a break for a cup of tea. For anyone who knows or loves football or anyone who wants to know the real goings on around a small town club this book is a must. The author takes real life characters, the kind we all know and love or loathe from our local teams and he heightens their personalities just enough to make them still credible while making them hilarious. From the off the reader can see the world Stanley inhabits and feel for him. The author treats each of his characters with sensitivity even the megalomaniac policeman Screwer. The story trips along at a great pace and the reader finds himself turning pages quickly. In these days of chicken farmers buying premiership teams it is not a stretch to imagine meat pie magnate Price taking over a small town team and doing exactly the same things. In essence this book caricatures perfectly the goings on in a small town and at a small town club - maybe even the goings on at a premiership club. I would highly recommend this to those interested in footie or those who want a good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barrelful of laughs 14 Dec 2006
By D. Maney
Format:Paperback
I'd already read Terry Ravenscroft's Dear Air 2000 which I found to be hilarious so I was looking forward to reading this. I was not disappointed.

A much better book and far better value than all the England footballers' autobiographies put together. Two of the main characters, Big Donny Donnelly and Superintendant Screwer will surely go down as two of the most laugh-provoking fictional characters in history. A really funny barrelful of laughs book with no padding whatsoever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny
As with most of TRs books, this is a slightly outlandish plot with larger than life characters and a fast paced plot. Read more
