An excellent and informative read.
Lee has spent a great deal of time and effort and money to attend some pretty scary derbies across the world which I have the greatest respect for. Very well written and a real eye opener, I recommend to anyone who is passionate about football.

Good read.
Good read,
Describes the experience well.
Would make you think about making a trip to some far flung place for a game.

Great read for football fans
A great read for any die hard football fan. Makes you want to go to more games!
Made even better when your local league (Northern Ireland) is mentioned

Lennokasta tarinankerrontaa ja peruslädimeininkiä: enemmän sivuja omistettu pubeissa kuin katsomossa vietetyille hetkille. Hupaisaa, harmitonta mutta myös helposti unohtuvaa luettavaa.

Short - the author mentions it being written on a phone(!) and a little lad-ish but definitely still enjoyable. Lucked into going to a couple historic games. A decently fun, fast read.
