About this product

Product Information

The magnificent story of a writer's lifelong obsession with his city and its football club. When 5-year-old Michael Chaplin landed in a strange city of ships in the late 1950s, he looked in vain for something that would anchor him to it, make him feel at home. Then, one Saturday afternoon, it came: the roar of a crowd, and a football team to support. Young Michael became an avid Newcastle United fan, and has remained one-if sometimes disenchanted-for over sixty years. In this football memoir with a difference, the celebrated playwright and screenwriter tells the story of his six-decade love affair with the club, each chapter recreating an iconic Newcastle match: the players who graced the game, the managers in the dug-out, and the backdrop outside the stadium-both the changing face of Newcastle, and the ups and downs of Michael's own life and career. This vivid, thoughtful and entertaining book is an absolute must-read for all Newcastle United supporters, and indeed-given that the club is often described as everyone's second favourite-for football fans everywhere...

Sums up my life
This book takes me back to my early teenage years, when everybody was following the Man U, Liverpool, Leeds, Arsenals of the day, I stumbled upon Newcastle at the 1974 FA CUP Final and, although well beaten 3-0 by Liverpool. I thought, that's the team for me. I'm 13 years old and about to embark on a lifetime of adventures, following Newcastle. This book has opened up so many memories of this period of 50/60 years following Newcastle. Although I've been to The Cathedral to see matches from hundreds of miles away, it's only been in the past 20 years that I've been self sufficient enough to make the pilgrimage again. This book reminds me of my life as I grew up and my joys and tears of following the greatest 'team' in my world.
