"Son of My Father" explores the changing relationship between
father, son and their beloved football club - Derby County. Along
with the changing faces of managers and players: the fads, news and
music of the eighties and nineties are brought to life. To the
backdrop of driving through clouds to Oldham, to driving rain in
Bristol, "Son of My Father" explores the changing relationship
between father, son and their football club. From the eyes of a
hero-worshipping four-year-old, through to a relationship of mutual
admiration and shared understanding, via the angst and traumatic
misunderstandings of an adolescent, Matches from Leyton to
Liverpool punctuate a story about growing up at the end of the
second millennium. The novel includes the family life as well as
the football and what it was like supporting Derby County in a
house occupied by a brother whose allegiance stood steadfast
towards rivals Nottingham Forest. It also covers the friendships
that were made at school, just because we supported the same team.
Along with the changing faces of managers and players: the fads,
news and music of the eighties and nineties are brought to life, as
well as the dawning of the new millennium where overnight we all
realised that despite the Y2K Bug promising computer meltdown, 1
January 2000 was just the same as 31 December 1999. "Son of My
Father" charts the relationship between the author, his Dad and
Derby County Football Club, from their first visit together to the
Baseball Ground in November 1979 and through two and a half decades
spent watching their team.
