The hilarious and moving story of a man called Dave and his precious football programmes. On the insistence of his wife, prior to moving to the USA, he whittles down his collection of 1134 to just 32, and recalls along the way memories of each match, and his life at the time. Strongly evocative of Nick Hornby and perfect for every football fan or their long-suffering families.
Synopsis
When the author relocates to the USA, his wife informs him that they can only take what is 'absolutely essential'. Packing his collection of football programmes, he is aghast to be informed that the programmes do not fall into that category. This title tells the story of how the author made the selection of his most important programmes.
