Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

Autobiography of an obsessed football fan who is an Arsenal supporter, and attends every match, home or away, regardless of best friends' weddings, jobs and much else beside. Hornby proves you can spend your whole life as a football obsessive, threatening all your relationships, and yet still end up as a much-admired millionaire writer. This funny book is a delight for those who share the author's interest in football, and a light-hearted warning about obsession for those who don't. Witty and erudite. (Kirkus UK)
