Media Reviews
Pete Davies is incapable of writing a dull sentence... outrageously entertaining * Daily Post *
Exhilarating ... full of drama, full of its own reckless and compelling logic * Indpendent *
Riveting, surging, passionately written. The book which made it possible for football literature to mean something other than daft ghosted biographies * FourFourTwo *
