Football Crazy

Football Crazy is a novel about Frogley Town, an impoverished north of England football club who ply their trade, just, in the Coca-Cola League Two. The club takes on a new lease of life when they are taken over by local millionaire meat pie manufacturer Joe Price, an arch traditionalist who has vowed to take the team all the way to the Premiership - and might very well achieve that lofty ambition if football hooligan-hating Frogley Police Chief Superintendent Screwer doesn't achieve his own ambition first. Lots of laughs, sex, drugs, rock and roll, chicanery and heartache, but very few goals.
