5.0 out of 5 stars football as an artform, 5 May 2001

By	aj kingston "elliotpsmoke" (Luton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This might sound like an average fan's season, and in many ways it is. And yet this gem is much more than that. Much more. Kingston's rapier dash and wit conjure up the kidney burgers, the onions and the deep heat of Division 2. Penmanship is premier league however. This might just survive the test of time, and long be remembered as 'the' supporter diary. I love this guy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book - bittersweet memories for every town fan, 27 Aug 1999

By A Customer

I'll start by saying I love this book. Then I should make clear that my relationship with the author is not simply as an admirer. He is my cousin. He gave me a Luton Town tie at my wedding (which thrilled me more than the official gift of a vacuum cleaner) and is generally a good bloke.

The book takes the form of a chronical of LTFC throughout the author's match attending experience. It tells of the first match, an unforgetable experience to any soccer fan, and particularly, as in my case, your team wins comfortably. The highs are monumentous. The author clearly cannot contain his delight at the '88 cup win over the mighty Arsenal. The lows...well...there are lots of them, mostly dealt with in a philosophical way, but quite often the author's sense of raw inevitability at his team is palpable.

Overall, this book makes a great read. Despite containing all the local jokes and family references you'd expect from a provincial writer departing on his first journey with pen and paper, every fan in the world will see paralells to his own team. Tim deals with serious issues such as football hooliganism and the over-commercilisation of the modern game in a rational yet emotive manner.

This is a fans book, and it is clear from the beginning that the author is a fan first and writer second.

And it's all the better for it.
