From Word of Sport:
A humorous, intelligent and outspoken insight into the daily grind of lower division football. Nelson, a journeyman pro nearing the end of his career, writes about Charlton's 1994/95 season and reveals the joys and insecurities of the professional life far away from the bullshit and glamour of the Premiership.
From the Publisher:
Garry Nelson's remarkable insight into what it is like to be a professional footballer outside of the rarefied atmosphere of the Premier League was instantly proclaimed a classic. The author provides an account of a run-of-the-mill season with Charlton Athletic, revealing the ups and downs of football and the occasional highs before the next low.
From the Critics:
“Quite simply the best account of what it really must be like to be a footballer since Eamon Dunphy's Only A Game?”
Jim White, The Guardian

It's A Fact!
Barry White was the arranger of 'Harlem Shuffle' by Bob & Earl...not strictly a sporting fact, but an interesting one nonetheless!
