Nick Hornby 
Fever Pitch 

*WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR*

Fever Pitch is Nick Hornby”s million-copy-selling, award-winnning football classic
”A spanking 7-0 away win of a football book. . . inventive, honest, funny, heroic, charming” Independent

For many people watching football is mere entertainment, to some it”s more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself.
But, for Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of few constants in a life where the meaningful things – like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic – have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal.
Brimming with wit and honesty, Fever Pitch, catches perfectly what it really means to be a football fan – and in doing so, what it means to be a man.
”Hornby has put his finger on truths that have been unspoken for generations” Irish Times

”Funny, wise and true” Roddy Doyle
