'What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or
the people who are paid to represent it. It's not the television
contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive
boxes. It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the
pride in your city. It's a small boy clambering up stadium steps
for the very first time, gripping his father's hand, gawping at
that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able
to do a thing about it, falling in love.' Sir Bobby Robson, West
Bromwich Albion and England Dean Walton had no choice in his
football supporting allegiance, he was born in 1960 to
'Baggies'-mad parents. Over the last fifty years Dean has rarely
missed a game at The Hawthorns and has followed his beloved Albion
all over the world, watching them play in eighteen different
countries. Follow Dean's travels through three divisions over five
decades. From UEFA Cup joy on a warm Valencia evening to
questioning his own sanity on a freezing cold night in Hartlepool.
From Wembley success to humiliating relegation in Bath, every
emotion is covered. Football is about much more than the match
itself. This book will strike a chord with any dedicated supporter.
