"If that goal in Paris had been allowed then everything that followed could have been different. For young Stephen Bottomley something died that night. This novel follows the fortunes of this Leeds United fan as he comes of age in the dark days of the early 1980s with no prospects and no guidance." From the back cover.

A novella more than a book all about growing up in Leeds in the 70's and 80's. Sex, Punk, beer, and Leeds United. A delightful honest, sometimes funny, sometimes sad coming of youth tale bound in the context of supporting Leeds. Quite short, but superb, and now getting harder to find. Followed up by the just as good No More Heroes, 2005.
