A SIGNED HARDBACK EDITION A highly evocative story set in Liverpool
of the 1960's. An exploration of what it was to be like to be young
in the time and city of The Beatles. The joys of music and football
in a golden age. At the start of the 1960's Liverpool is an
ordinary, northern city. Badly damaged by German bombs and still
struggling to shake off the fall-out from the war. Tony and his
teenage friends look at their dull, grey lives and dream of
something better. Even their beloved football team, Liverpool FC,
seem to be stuck in Division Two and going nowhere. Then The
Beatles and Bill Shankly come along. And everything goes crazy. The
city is the focus of world attention. And it isn't just the music.
Liverpool start to dominate English football, becoming one of the
very best teams in Europe. Tony and his friends watch The Beatles,
who they first saw playing at small local venues like The Casbah
and Litherland Town Hall, go on to achieve worldwide fame. It is an
astonishing time to be young and living in Liverpool. Tony writes
songs and falls in love with a girl living in Penny Lane. He and
his friends join the swaying crowd on the Kop at Anfield to watch
Bill Shankly's team and sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. The future
looks bright. But life can be cruel. Nothing lasts forever. We all,
in the end, have to grow up.
