Reviews

“Above everything else it is heart-felt and written from the soul by Gooners who so obviously care. Giving you details might spoil the pleasure so I’ll tell you no more than the fact that you’ll enjoy it unless you hate reading, or don’t like Arsenal as much as you claim. To say I’d recommend it is an understatement.”Arsenal World.

“Make no mistake, if you are an Arsenal fan, I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this book. And, to paraphrase the song after which it is entitled, you’ll probably want to read it ‘over and over and over again’”Goonerboy

“It’s an absolute must read …”Bleacher Report

“By the time I’d read as far as chapter ten ‘So Paddy Got Up’ was already one of my all-time favourite Arsenal titles”Online Gooner
