If you’ve played it, you know what it’s like…
Been reading. Yes, really, I have! Anyone who has played in a local diddy footy team should read this book. It is laugh-out-loud funny. So much you can relate to in it… if I had any sort of authortastic skills, I could write my own version! The spontaneous stories that happen on away trips; the ridiculous antics of the team donkey/muppet/thug; the random skillful fast young left winger who just doesn’t fit in; all these topics could come up from any team. With hindsight there are plenty of stories that we should right down… so for the weekend I must clean my boots, pack my kit, check i’ve got rub and take a notepad and pencil..
Any Chance of a Game by Barney Ronay. Goals, girl trouble and growing up! (And of course – Deep Heat!)
