  This book is for the true fans of Blackburn Rovers. No one who loves this great team could fail to enjoy this rattling good tale of their fortunes over the last 125 years, written by local man Frank Burns. A life-long supporter, his love for the team he has folowed for over 55 years is clear, as are his forthright opinions about the changes he has witnessed in the game; many will applaud his attitude to transfer fees, players' salaries, club loyalty, management and the so-called `professional' foul. Not everyone will agree with him, of cource, but some good discussions over a pint or three are guaranteed! Illustrated with excellent cartoons drawn by the author and his son, `Blackburn Rovers: A Football Odyssy' is a readable, affectionate tribute to one of the oldest clubs in the League.
