From the Publisher:
In an age when teams need to spend tens of millions to compete in Europe, one small team rose from nowhere and in seven years time was competing with European giants.In an age when too many say that grass roots football leads nowhere and that there is no hope for the small clubs, one club dared to dream differently and from a small corner of Europe, a team nicknamed The Lions roared – and everyone heard there voice.With details of every game the club has played and interviews with the people who made the club what it is, The Lions Roar is not only the first book about Livingston FC and the effect the club had on the small town, it also reminds us of what makes football so important to us: not the overpaid players, not the fancy wages, but the passion and the determination of eleven men to exceed against the odds. A portion of the books profits will be going to Livingston FC and Livingston for Life. The author will be donating his first print run royalties to Journalistic Charities.

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!
