The Far Corner: A Mazy Dribble Through North-East Football (Paperback)

Savagely funny and frequently moving ... Some of the humour is as full-blooded as a tackle by Bryan Robson ... At times the author wanders off at a tangent, like Chris Waddle on a bad day, then that is the capricious nature of football * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
Forget Nick Horby's FEVER PITCH, this is the football book of the new age, a mix of heroism, humour and Norman Hunter, but mainly humour * SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR *
Britain's best ever football book * NORTHERN ECHO *
Acidly funny, there is lots of relevant social comment. One of the best of the new genre * IRISH TIMES *
