As supporter, player and broadcaster, John Gwynne has enjoyed a
lifelong passion for football. In 'Soccer Satisfied' we follow a
footballing journey which originated in the Shropshire countryside
of the 1950s. Shrewsbury Town was the local league team but a move
to Manchester triggered over sixty years of undying love for
Manchester City. This sky blue thread weaves through the book,
interspersed with memories of John's own playing career at grass
roots level, anecdotes from his broadcasting career on local radio
and for Sky's 'Soccer Saturday' and memorable evenings on the
dinner circuit. John has met and befriended many great characters
including Bert Trautmann, Denis Law, Jimmy Armfield and Gordon
Banks. Meetings with Sir Matt Busby, Bobby Moore and Sir Alex
Ferguson have left a lasting impression. Pain and passion are felt
as he writes movingly of the Munich tragedy and the death of his
beloved and ever-supportive wife Margaret. On a lighter note, there
are a host of humorous anecdotes and one of broadcasting's most
distinctive voices can be heard on every page. 'Soccer Satisfied'
is a warm, nostalgic journey connecting two quite different eras.
The game has changed markedly but John's enthusiasm for it has not
dimmed.
