'A great read' 4/5 Glory Glory Man United (MUFC official magazine)
'Hill can be funny, but really finds his voice in harrowing recollections of the Hillsborough tragedy.' Daily Mail
'For younger fans, there is an intoxicating account of the run-in to Fergie's first title triumph in 1993, while older fans will relish exhilarating memories of United in the 70's, a decade of Cup finals and cock-ups. Equally entertaining is Hill's witty and often poignant portrayal of a youth spent in a declining mining community...Impassioned and bleak but also hilarious.' Manchester UNITED (the official MUFC magazine)
