To celebrate the sale of the 218th copy of my book, I’ve written a new blog. Not the usual match visit with chips, tea and a German twin town but a 30 second moment in history.

I started reading the magazine/fanzine When Saturday Comes back in the early 90s. I never thought that one day I would have a piece printed in it.
Exciting times!

Saturday afternoon, like home…raining and chips, football from the A League as table toppers Melbourne City take on Sydney in the AAMI stadium. No home shirt as it looks like Man City, so a 3rd shirt, a scarf and a chat with some Sydney fans who also support Spurs.
Ground 703.

Chilly football Saturday on the South Coast for Portchester vs Hamble. Porty protecting an unbeaten record on a boggy, yet icey pitch. No tat to be seen but there is an ex-Bournemouth legend who has scored lots of goals this season and has a lot to say on everything.
Ground 694.

Eurohop Match 12 in Sinsheim for Hoffenheim vs Werder Bremen. The club is to big for its namesake so plays in a smart stadium in a town better known for its museum. More Bremen than home so far, club shop raided, trip is taking its toll on us hoppers
