Among the Fans by Patrick Collins
The relationship between athlete and fan is dramatically different these days - no longer the silent, distant veneration of yesteryear. Patrick Collins records a year spent observing a variety of sports and their fans and gives us a wonderfully wry, intelligent view of the modern sporting world.
His prose is always pitch-perfectThe result is a deeply enjoyable and often very funny book which should persuade those who didn't know it already just how brilliantly readable Collins is * Independent on Sunday *
