Penthouse and Pavement: How to Survive in Football without Sucking Up to the Old Firm (Mainstream sport) Book

This is not a book for glory-hunters. It's a book about pain, and about the anguish of watching your team lose 9-2 in the very first game you ever saw, and about the inevitability of defeat, despair and dismay. But it's also about hope, and about dreams, which sometimes come true, like the once in a lifetime ecstasy of winning the Cup or a League. As anyone who's had that moment-of-a-lifetime knows, the joy is even greater because you've known the pain. For sportswriter Bill Leckie, who has followed St Mirren since 1964, it all became worthwhile when they won the Scottish Cup in 1987. This volume is about the clubs and the people who love them. It's about the kind of fan who doesn't go to games expecting to win - or worse, demanding it. And it is about being willing to accept a lifetime of frustration in return for one day of utter wonderment.Read More
