Covering the game at all levels from St James's Park to Langley Park, from Roker to Willington, this book is an account of the North-East's experience of the 1993-1994 football season. In the book, Wilf Mannion rubs shoulders with The Sunderland Skinhead, recollections of Len Shackleton blights the lives of village shoppers, and the appointment of Kevin Keegan as manager of Newcastle is celebrated by a man in a leather stetson crooning For the Good Times to the accompaniment of a midi organ. The book is a tale of heroism and human frailty, passion and the perils of eating an egg mayonnaise stottie without staining your trousers.
