Home and Away by Dave Roberts
Dave Roberts was, for once, almost lost for words as the news sank in. Perennial underachievers Bromley, in the vertigo-inducing fifth tier of English football? It was the greatest achievement in the UK club's 130-year history. This book takes Dave the length and breadth of the land on a journey of discovery, with Bromley games thrown in.
"Excellent" * The Sun *
"A glowing testament to the camaraderie and inclusiveness of supporting a team lower down the football pyramid. Everyone is welcome in this uplifting book that celebrates the happiness to be found in reconnecting with your friends, your team and your home." * When Saturday Comes *
"Pure gold... A brilliant book that all football fans can relate to." * Late Tackle *
"A wonderfully warm-hearted book, which gives the beautiful game a good name." * Saga *
"Funny, well-paced, engaging and at times touching. It's a personal book for Dave.
