Moving, laugh-out-loud funny, spiritually uplifting and beautifully written, this book is about football, journalism, politics, religion, tragedy and community spirit, seen through the eyes of a dedicated supporter of one of British football's least successful clubs. The many tribulations and occasional triumphs of Cowdenbeath FC are set against the rise and decline of the local mining industry and beyond. To clebrate the coming of age of what has become a football cult classic, this brand new edition has an updated text and new chapters. The new introduction is by one of the book's many fans and the biggest name in British football, Sir Alex Ferguson.
