Harry
Pearson's best selling book is brought to life on stage.
A touching and funny tale of one fan's journey around
the football clubs of the North East during the 1993/94
season. This is the beautiful game at all levels - from
St James' Park to Langley Park. From the multi-million
pound, all-seated,corporate stadia, to a windswept,
rain-soaked pie and bovril on the touchlines of the
nonleaguegame. From the days of skinheads and scarves,
to recollections of Len Shackleton,Kevin Keegan and
egg mayonnaise stotties, this is an affectionate tribute
to football in all its forms.
"There's only one actor
on stage, and a small stretch of stand, but you can
see, or sense it all - the bellowing goalies, the terrace
comedians, the cliché sprouting experts, and
the soup that smells of dog sick. David Nellist plays
a blinder. You'd think there were a team of players
out there. This production is a winner."
