Pointless by Jeff Connor

Pointless by Jeff Connor

The inside, in-depth and possibly indiscreet story of a season with Britain's worst football club - East Stirlingshire. The Shire ended the 2003/04 season in the Scottish Third Division with a total of 8 points (boosted by a win in the last game of the season) and a goal difference of minus 88. They cannot be relegated as there is nowhere lower to go. They are the only team at which Sir Alex Ferguson has failed as a manager. Their average home attendance is around 200 and there are behind-the-scenes moves afoot that threaten their very existence. The inside story of the 2004/05 season is set to be very interesting indeed. Whatever happens, they are poised to acquire cult status with the publication of Pointless. At times funny, sad, heart-warming and embarrassing, as events on and off the pitch unfold, it is never likely to be dull. And with the goal of reaching a points total in double figures, the action on the pitch is set to be pulsating.

Jeff Connor was born in Manchester and now lives in Edinburgh. He is the rugby correspondent of Scotland on Sunday. He has written nine books, including the definitive story of the Busby Babes (The Lost Babes) to be published by Canongate in November 2004, and Up and Down Under, an account of the 2001 British Lions tour.
