A book born out of a once in a lifetime trip to Istanbul. Follow one mans life bound by his passion for Liverpool FC. Watch the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters unfold in front of his very eyes, and see how Istanbul heralds an end to his old life and a start to his new life. The journey takes in the football fields of Europe and a brief sojourn into the professional game. The story is true and mirrors that of thousands of normal football fans. There is a piece of every one of you in his story! This is what Tony Evans, Football Editor at 'The Times' had to say about this book: “Rarely has a book shown how interwoven football is into the fabric of everyday life. A superb illustration of why the game matters and why its important not to surrender the sport to the profiteers and corporate con-men... We Had Dreams and Songs to Sing shows that football still matters and, more importantly, it shows why it matters”.
