The book is very good and very funny - mostly tongue in cheek. A bit dated now though as it was written in 1998.

Here's a sample (as seen in preview on Amazon)....

"Brighton and Hove Albion: Considering they've got two towns in their name it's somewhat ironic that they pay in Gillingham because they've got no ground of their own. They've also got a kit that looks like a Tesco carrier bag. 'No hope, no future' should be the team's motto."

Brilliant.

Sounds like he must have clean up his act:

"Widely acknowledged as one of the games most vocal anti-violence and anti-racism campaigners, Dougie has acted as an advisor to both the British governments working group into soccer disorder and the European commissions' soccer group. He has also written extensively for various magazines, newspapers and websites including The Sun, The Times, The New York Times, The Guardian. Loaded, Four-Four-Two magazine, About.com and Soccer 365."

He parades around in a Stone Island with a shaved head and professes to be a reformed thug that is now an expert on stopping it. Total string.

It's a fantastic book and I think I'll read it again now that I've seen this thread.

"Crystal Palace - Crap club, crap area, crap kit and crap team. Play at Selhurst Park. Which is a crap ground". :clap:

"The Wanker Sign - One of the geezers favourites, this gesture is designed to intimate that the target recipient is either fond of masturbating or is simply not very good. The beauty of this signal is that it can be used to abuse players, other fans or even the officials and is so universal it need not even be accompanied by any words. It is, however, usually done in conjunction with a strange 'arrrgh' noise and a glare at the offending individual. It is particularly effective when an opposing player has made a mistake of some kind, although it can be used at any time. :wanker::lol:
