I could write a book on how 1989-92 was a brief golden age to be a football supporter.

You should... There thats your summer sorted

I loved those times and would buy fanzines in bulk from 1UP in Aberdeen, Grouchos in Dundee and Nostalgia and Comics when I was in Birmingham. The style of many seemed to be influenced by VIZ or Reeves and Mortimer irreverence mixed with great serious articles about the state of the game or that particular club.. Loved them. Aberdeen's 'Northern Light' was a favourite although they didn't extend that feeling of camaraderie to the old firm to say the least.

I thought Fever Pitch was a great read (soz) and feel a bit sorry for Nick Hornby being blamed as a catalyst for modern football's ills as I'm sure that was never his intention.

Anyway, in summary; Yes Dave, please write that book.

Find me a publisher and I will.

I managed to persuade Hunter who owns Jumbo Records in Leeds to let me stock football fanzines alongside the music ones. My finest moment was when I paid up front for 20 copies of the St Pauli fanzine when the guy called in, turned out there wasn't anybody in Leeds into football who could read German.

I too really enjoyed much of Fever Pitch as I think he had a lot to say about what it means/meant to be a football fan.

But I'll never forgive the twat for lazily endorsing all-seater stadia as the only answer to Hillsborough and fan safety. All the post-Italia 1990 "football - it's the new craze" dickheads happily pointed to Hornby's take on this, and he completely played into the clubs' hands, who were only too pleased to keep upping their prices in return for shiny new grounds. Of course it wasn't all his fault, but he had a part to play in the all-seater and sanitisation disaster.

He also said that, basically, it was tough on anyone who couldn't afford to go to the match anymore and clubs who went out of business.

I never like the fact that he lived in Reading and supported Arsenal.

Except when he lived in Cambridge so he supported them.

I never read the book but saw the film and thought it could have been ok with just two minor changes.

(i) Villa win the League
(ii) Hornby's annoying twat of a girlfriend gets killed.

What my dad calls the Radio 3 Syndrome. The assumption that your audience is exclusively middle-class, like you.

I never like the fact that he lived in Reading and supported Arsenal.

Or when he chose to attend a literary awards dinner instead of Arsenal's Cup Final replay against Sheffield Wednesday.
