Football: Pure Poetry (for the fan who wants everything)

Anthology of football poems by UK football fans telling the story of going to and being at a game, half time, the women, beer and going home.

The poems in this book are by football and poetry fans who enjoy a good kick about with a ball and words. Like a forward jinking past the opposition and slotting a haiku into the back of a sonnet.
