Bleeding Green by Matt Gibson
Based on the experiences of Real Calcio, a Sunday morning football team from West London, and written by their player / manager, Bleeding Green is a humorous look at the national game... Despite their lack of pre-season training and having been regularly thrashed in five-a-side games over the summer, the Real Calcio management appear confident at their pre-season meeting in a run down London pub. They make a pact to become more professional - which quickly backfires when they realise they've told the team to go to Wandsworth Common, not Wandsworth Park, for their first game. Bleeding Green touches upon the various bizarre episodes that occur throughout the season, looks at the players' strengths and weaknesses and the unrelenting battle to get eleven men on the pitch every Sunday. They spend half of Saturday asking mates of mates to play, they seem to get injuries in parts of the body they didn't know existed, are sliding through the divisions in the wrong direction and it seems half the team can't be bothered to give one hundred percent. Is it all worth it? Anyone who has played football in any Sunday league will be able to relate to the highs and lows in Bleeding Green.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
