    Folks

    apologies if this has been posted up before but have any of you read this i have nearly finished it imo the bool sums up what being a Liverpool fan is all about.

    The chapter about Hysel and Hillsborough were very hard to read so id imagine they were very hard to write. I had to stop halfway during the Hillsborough chapter as i felt my eyes begin to fill up.

    Currently reading it at the moment great insight into his life and as a fellow red. Still the one book I would advise anyone to get is Carra's best book I have read in years.

    I visited Heysel only last year. Had a very eerie, morose feeling to it around the ground. Granted, twas on a day where there weren't many around, adding to it.

    Mickey Owen once uttered, 'I'm a doer, not a reader'. I was pretty disgusted at this to be honest.

    Reading this book at the min (now called 44 years with the same bird). Not really into reading but the missus bought it for me for Fathers Day. Only a few chapters in but a very good read,

    Ya its a good read , only read around half it so far but Brian Reade is a decent bloke and he's very blunt, he said he'd seen Shanks's knob !!!!
