The stories are completely varied and range from comical, unusual,
interesting, scary and fascinating. All the supporters feature in
the book speak with equal passion about the club they all clearly
adore. It starts with supporters' tales in Leeds itself and then
goes around the west side of England, into Wales, across to
Southern and Northern Ireland, over to America and Canada, down to
the Caribbean. Further south to Brazil and Argentina, it then
continues around the globe to places such as South East Asia,
Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Azerbaijan, Russia,
Norway, Iceland and many more. Throughout the book there are tales
of the author's experiences following the club and there are three
chapters from 'super-fan' Gary Edwards, who has only missed one
Leeds match including all pre-season friendlies anywhere in the
world since 1968.
Fanatical is the story of football's number one superfan. Since
January 1968, Gary Edwards hasn't missed a single competitive Leeds
United match anywhere in the world. He's devastated to have missed
one friendly; although, rest assured, that was through no fault of
his own. On his 46-year (and counting!) adventure, this uniquely
passionate supporter has experienced dodgy mountainside coach
nightmares, bumpy flights on cheap airlines, and aggro just about
everywhere. From pink faces in Barnsley to disguises at Luton, from
behind the Iron Curtain to an eerie Nou Camp, from FA hypocrisy to
tragedy in Turkey, Fanatical is by turn funny, scary and
inspirational in its display of extreme love for football and the
mighty Whites. Enjoy this whistle-stop global tour to every club
Gary has visited ever since Derby County all those years ago - by
sea, by air and by Doombuggy, Gary's customised hearse!
