Description

The Bromley Boys: A True Story of Football at the Bottom. In the late 1960s, football was at its peak in England, with the country's team winning the World Cup. For Dave Roberts and his friends, however, there was only one team to support - Bromley Football Club, a genuine amateur team fighting for survival in the lowest non-league division. This book tells the story of Bromley's worst ever season, a tale of football at its most humble. Dave's experiences as a fan are both funny and heart-warming, from turning up to matches with his boots in his bag, just in case, to watching teams ship goals left and right. The atmosphere on the terraces is always lively, even if the team is struggling on the pitch. This book is a touching true story about supporting a club through thick and thin, proving that sometimes it's not about winning, but about being part of something. a worthwhile read for anyone who loves football, this book offers a unique perspective on the sport at its most grassroots level.
