A must-read for anyone who loves football.' \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Crouch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s, in the warm glow of England winning the World Cup, Dave Roberts, like most teenage boys his age, was football mad. There was just one difference: rather than supporting the likes of Arsenal or Manchester United, Dave’s team of choice was the ever so slightly less glamorous Bromley Football Club – one of the last genuinely amateur football teams left, fighting for survival in the lowest non-league division.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the story of Bromley’s worst ever season. It is a funny and heart-warming tale of football at the very bottom: Dave turns up to each match with his football boots in his bag, just in case the team are a player short; the crowd is always announced as 400 as no-one can be bothered to count; the team ship so many goals that in one match, the taunting opposition fans actually lose count of the score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s easy being a football fan when your team are always winning. The Bromley Boys is the touching true story about supporting a club through thin and even thinner: proof that the more your team may lose on the pitch, the more there is to gain on the terraces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dave Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284912324757,"sku":"9781909396074","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781909396074.jpg?v=1776992166","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781909396074_the-bromley-boys","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
