This book reveals the funny, the absurd, the emotional, the peculiar, the shocking and unbelievable that is part and parcel of being a die-hard England fan. Tales of unwavering dedication and loyalty, of personal sacrifice and emotional trauma, are entwined with stories highlighting superb camaraderie, intense excitement and proud patriotism. Wives as well as jobs have been lost, overdrafts have plunged to new depths and countless 'sickies' have been thrown - just to be there to cheer on the Three Lions. Real England stories, by real England fans.
