What is it like to follow one of English football's perennial
non-achievers? Hugging Strangers is a celebration of what it means
to support your club through thick and thin. It speaks to all who
love the game but are lumbered - by way of family, geography or
plain bad luck - with a team whose glory days are few and far
between. At the end of the 1963/64 season Birmingham City stayed in
the first division by winning on the last day of the campaign. In
the 55 years that followed, the Blues kept either survival or
promotion for the final fixture on a further 12 occasions. Stir in
nine relegations, eight promotions, along with play-off failures
and embarrassing exits from cup competitions and you'll have an
idea of what it means to be a Blues fan. But you don't have to be a
Birmingham fan to enjoy this book. This light-hearted collection of
tales from a lifelong, hopeless football addict will strike a chord
with anyone who has asked themselves quite why they allow this
simple game to assume such importance in their lives.
