Memories of players and matches, from the great to the awful, sit alongside hilarious tales of playground Potteries derbies, embarrassing school football trials and the author's attempts to become pen pals with Jon Dreyer.

Neil James contributes the popular 'Trouserdog' column to The Oatcake fanzine, and all the Stoke City match previews to the Online Betting Guide. A number of his short stories have appeared in literary magazines such as The Fiction Pool and Literally Stories, and he was shortlisted in The Potteries Prize for Fiction in 2017. Neil has been attending Stoke matches for 32 long and mostly painful years.
