To Be A Saint - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The life of a football fan can be a tough one. The emotional turmoil, travelling long distances in all weathers just to see your team lose to a lower league side on a cold wet Tuesday night, as well as the constant ribbing from friends and co-workers. And let’s not mention the cost of being a modern day football fan! Some fans have it easy though. Their teams win trophies every other season or put in a realistic title challenge. But what of the fan who doesn’t support a trophy-laden club? What goes through the mind of the fan who supports a team of perennial underachievers? In this book, Phillip Drake chronicles the past thirty years in the recent history of Southampton Football Club, as this mid-sized south coast club struggles to compete with the giants of English football. From mid-table mediocrity, relegations, miss-management both on and off the pitch, near bankruptcy and their phoenix from the flames rise back to the Premier League, it’s all here.
