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.

Me too. I started going to the Arsenal in 1988, as a junior gunner, but Italia 90 was the same time as my 10th birthday, and thats when I really started to follow leagues, players, working out points, and actually really caring. After that I was hooked.

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.
