"One person's passion — and every bounce of the ball
This is a book about a big dream very, very, very nearly coming true
A brilliant read about a brilliant FA Cup run!"
JEREMY VINE
The FA Cup is surely the greatest competition in the world, and I'm sure many of us would say the happiest times of our Sutton supporting lives have come in that competition. When I made the switch to support my local side instead of a rapidly declining Arsenal in 2011 I believed in a dream which seemed crazy, ridiculous, impossible - yet always thought somehow I would live to see the day it came true. Six Added Minutes follows the story of a wide-eyed young boy growing up, balancing the love of his local football club with everything else life can throw at you through your teenage years. It's laughter, tears of sadness and joy, but ultimately a relatable, feel-good tale of the love we all share for football. I've worked on it for years now, keeping it quite when I can (A lot of people have been given plenty of hints when I've been drunk admittedly!), but we now finally have a date for the launch. The VP Lounge after the Bromley match on the 23rd November will host the book launch for Six Added Minutes, and I would love it if as many of you as possible could join me. At just £8 a book, what's not to love? Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all at the game I'm sure
