From the Publisher:
You can change your house, your car, your political affiliations and even your partner, but your football team is one of life's constants, right? This title demonstrates the importance of loyalty in being a fan. It aims to reveal the source of a fan's passion for their team. It is intended for a football fan dedicated to the beautiful game.
A lifelong Hibs fan takes on the challenge that TV's 'Faking It' and 'Wifeswap' were too scared to even contemplate as he tries to follow his team's hated rivals Hearts for an entire season. With gritty realism and riveting detail, Aidan Smith demonstrates the importance of loyalty in being a fan. Going undercover, he swaps his colours, drinks in rivals' pubs and even sings their songs, trying to get under the skin of the opposition.
From the Critics:
“Quite honestly the best book I've ever read about football”
