Overview

David Kindon, a lifetime football fan and amateur player, decided to track a number of English football teams from club level at Saltash United through all fourteen group stages, all the way to the FA Cup Final in the 2018 - 2019 season. His passion for 'The Beautiful Game' comes through strongly as he entertains all lovers of football in an account replete with amusing anecdotes and with typically dry English humour, provides a fascinating look into the quirks and personalities of players, managers, coaches and media personalities, some of whom became trusted friends. He makes no secret of his regret at how the game has changed with the advent of the Premier League, the influence of the media and the vast sums of money that have been poured into the professional game.
