Jon Attenborough, a visually impaired football fan,
embarks on an extraordinary journey with his guide dog, Sam, across Scotland,
visiting every single one of the 42 Scottish Professional Football League
(SPFL) grounds. Jon
and Sam conquer the 42 making Scottish Football History!
This memoir chronicles their shared experiences, blending
Jon's love for football with the profound bond he shares with Sam. As they
travel the length and breadth of Scotland, Jon navigates the challenges of
accessibility, the unpredictability of live sports, and the warmth of
Scotland’s football community. From the bustling cities to the remote,
windswept stadiums, Jon and Sam experience the rich tapestry of Scottish
football culture, encountering passionate fans, legendary players, and
unforgettable moments along the way.
Through candid reflections, Jon shares the emotional and
physical hurdles they overcame, the joyous milestones they reached, and the
unexpected friendships they formed on this journey. The memoir also delves into
Jon's life before Sam, his struggles with vision impairment, and how Sam not
only became his guide but also his closest companion and a symbol of resilience
and hope.
This is more
than just a football travelogue; it's a story of perseverance, the power of
companionship, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog. It
celebrates the spirit of the beautiful game and the communities that thrive
within it, while also highlighting the importance of inclusivity in sports and
society.
This inspiring and heart-warming memoir will resonate with
football fans, dog lovers, and anyone who believes in the power of following
one's passion against all odds. Jon and Sam made each journey by public transport - legends!
