we went up the hill in marseille and walked into a street where whites of eyes was the only thing on show

 

dived in a bar

 

went in the bog, pitch black and realised the shower was the bog - for number 1s and 2s

 

not nice

 

 

 

first game, 8 room hotel - cw with love bed - we had the royal suite, slept about 5 for 30 quid a night

 

sat in the bar area with the tv remote

 

chose channel 69 and had hardcore porn with our egg topped pizza

I'm reading it, it's very well researched, possibly because he's got access to details that most of us would struggle to dig up, however it goes off at several tangents and page upon page is fuck all to do with Bolton.

 

The first actual inaccuracy is when he states rumours of a stabbing were untrue. The lad was in the Sports Bar night before the game and had categorically been stabbed in the shoulder.

The formula of giving a historical rundown of the opposition team and/or city every time gets a bit tiresome but there are some great moments in it, love seeing how former players and staff still have such fond memories of it all and of playing for us

I saw the blokes stab wounds in Belgrade

I honestly think you should get in touch with the author and offer to put the details in that your "mate" got involved with, that would make it worth reading.

 

Publishers will readily print new updated editions if a book is selling well.

 

And your mate might make a few quid....

He did need to talk to more mates TBF, fucking bored of Carl Crook, the BWSA bloke and the kitman. Plenty people on here were in the cities days before and after the games.

 

I think the bloke underestimated the numbers and concentrates on the day trippers. They've got a story, especially with the hotel in Belgrade, but there's a lot of amusing anecdotes that would lighten the mood of the book.

 

Also it fails the criticise the club when they fell well short on many occasions.
