Three Goalkeepers and Seven Goals turns the clock back to 1982 for
the most memorable match in Leicester City history - a
quarter-final FA Cup tie with Shrewsbury Town that stands without
parallel for twists and drama. Told through the eyes of fictional
reporter Bob Johnson, the story brings to life that extraordinary
game, as a capacity crowd wedged into the atmospheric Filbert
Street witnesses Leicester stage a spectacular 5-2 comeback using
three goalkeepers. Set in an era of macho newsrooms, Thatcher and
the Falklands War, the book resurrects a remarkable period in
British history. Hard-nosed newspaperman Johnson thinks he's seen
it all, but his world is turned upside down as one of the lucky
fans who witness Leicester's inspirational comeback, aided by a
goal from a young Gary Lineker. Johnson's account captures the
immense drama of this epic game before tragedy strikes. In Three
Goalkeepers and Seven Goals, Mark Bishop skilfully weaves fact with
fiction to honour a match that is part of Leicester City folklore.
