The publication of Nick Hornby's football memoir Fever Pitch 20 years ago is often seen as the point when middle-class interest in football began. How far has the game changed since then?

etc.

Italia 90 and Euro 96 had far a bigger cultural impact.

Euro 96.

The summer I became footie addicted.

[Dog Toffee]

fuckin addicts.


Good book fever pitch. Its annoying that ppl who support other teams just call it a book about an arsenal fan. Its about fanaticism in general. Its also hilarious.

Oh - I thought this was going to be how, against the odds, we pull off a magic win. Like 5-0 against Milan.

Watching the film brings it all back to me as if it were yesterday.

The crowds dancing in the street are just outside where I used to live on Conewood Street. I wish I could be there again.
