Sinossi
Che cosa ci spinge a seguire dal vivo, per radio, sul televideo, o addirittura per posta, una squadra di calcio nelle sue non sempre fulgide prestazioni? Da cosa nasce l'ossessione che ci lega alla nostra squadra del cuore? Attaccamento, esaltazione, fanatismo, ma anche sofferenza, patema, tormento: sono solo alcune delle molteplici sfumature che la passione calcistica può assumere e, quando a metterle sulla pagina sono brillanti scrittori, il lettore riesce ad assaporare il gusto di ogni emozione che il calcio riserva. Una raccolta di storie in cui la passione per uno sport amatissimo si sposa con il talento della scrittura, riuscendo a restituire quel miracolo di ingenuità, irrazionalità e disperazione che è l'essenza del tifo calcistico.

Recensioni
Quite a fascinating read, actually. Hornby's, Wicken's, and Doyle's pieces were my favorites. Overall, it's full of emotion and love for football in all its forms.
A collection of stories that will resonate with any fan who dimly recalls the origin of their dedication to a single team. Well worth the read.
A quick read - several short autobiographical tales by male authors/journalists (mainly) focussing on their experiences as a football supporter. There's a decent range of teams covered - from international to non-league - and stories from the 1960s to the 1990s. There is a quirky added pleasure due
A quirkly little collection of football memoirs, from a diverse group of writers. The clubs and memories here are, for the most part, lesser known and from a pre-Sky tv era. It took me back to my first football experiences, standing on terraces, kids being shoved down to the front, so you could see th Leggi tutto
Chapters in the lives of ardent football fans are interesting to read if you're a fan yourself. It's comforting to know that you're not the only person prepared to stand in the rain watching eleven people kick a ball around, that you're not the only person who wouldn't trade his first born to be one Leggi tutto
This is a great read for anyone who loves football. Several well-known writers discuss their favourite teams' most memorable football seasons. Nick Hornby's hilarious story about Cambridge United's losing streak is great, but my favourite has to be Roddy Doyle's account of his "heroic" trip to the t Leggi tutto
Ahead of contributing to a similar style, if slightly lower profile, collection of 'my favourite season' stories I borrowed this from Russell. It was enjoyable enough; even though the book published almost 20 years ago, it still possesses much currency and certain pieces were an absolute joy to read, Leggi tutto
My kind of book. My memories of 1990 World Cup are so clear and this really took me back. I felt book was a touch disjointed in places but still portrayed the emotions very well.
