BARR, WILLIAM - Real Football Real Fans: A Journey to the Heart of Football

Morrow & Co. 2008. (ISBN: 9780948903298). Paperback. Paperback in good condition, little signs of being read. WAGS. Ferraris. The dire performance of the National Team. The greater the wages the smaller the achievement. Add to this a Premier League whose ambitions are global rather than for the benefit of the local fans and even without that extra fixture being played abroad it is clear our traditional game is losing its way. The average age of the football fan at our top clubs is rising and we are in danger of losing the tradition of family support. Real Football, Real Fans is a journey to the true heart of football. Join William Barr on his odyssey around the League 2 clubs to refresh his enthusiasm for real football. Join him at Stockport singing that strange last verse of the County Anthem. Meet the Human Megaphone at Bury whose lungpower stopped the referee in his tracks. Share the anxiety of Janet at Darlington as she watches the entire game with her fingers over her eyes. Rejoice in the amazing football produced by Sammy MacIlroys Morecambe and wince with Carl Baker at where that magic spray was applied. Sup pints with the Accrington Ultras and see how near you get to their 40 point entrance test. Find out why Rochdale was so good that William went there twice. This warm and funny book celebrates a brand of football and a group of supporters which uphold the joy and enthusiasm which was widespread before the excesses crept in. It contains an account of the consumption and marking of matchday pies which is little short of astonishing. ISBN 0-948903-29-5 0948903295. Used: Acceptable.
