I do like the fact that Conn is not all rose tinted glasses about City and at times is quite scathing in his criticism - it pays to be real about these things! But there are some glaring factual inaccuracies - victory parade after the play off final? er no. The 4-1 promotion victory over Charlton (missing a goal there I think) and various other points. Also, the general ranting about money in the Premiership and owners taking money out and exploiting fans - I agree, it's wrong but it isn't something we don't know already. I was expecting some genuine revelations not just recycling of the same old moans - and don't get me started on the appaling section on FC United. As someone who knows and unfortunately has to mix with a lot of their "fans" would know that this utopian vision of a football co-operative is about as realistic as Santa Cruz completing a full season without injury!

I'm actually looking forward to this MORE now that I know that it wasn't just glowing history compiled by a lifelong fan. Nice review. Thanks. Waiting for my copy to come in the mail.

Just a shame he missed the 60's and early 70's. Couldd't put it down. A book that any City fan would love. As well written as ‘The Beautiful Game’ but with much more personal involvement.
