Caracteristici
Reviews of author's previous book, Hatters, Railwaymen and Knitters: "Gray writes like Lowry paints. Superb" and "Superlative . The book is beautifully written; pessimistic and damning, yet joyful and full of love for the game . Wonderful"
Notă biografică
Saturday, 3pm is Daniel Gray's third football book, and fifth book overall. His first, Homage to Caledonia was turned into a television miniseries when Gray was just 27, and he continues to present history on Scottish TV. His previous book, Hatters, Railwaymen and Knitters: Travels through England's Football Provinces, won widespread acclaim across the football and literary press. He writes a travel column for The Leither magazine, and his work has appeared across various newspapers and on BBC radio.
Recenzii
Each is a precision-tooled delight. even apparently obvious subjects are described with such lyricism that the everyday is routinely transformed into the sublime. here is a book that contains nothing but pure, unadulterated joy
Delightfully written.countless little gems of recognition and satisfaction, many of them very funny. a lovely little thing
Lovingly crafted prose-poetry.a wonderful antidote to the money-sodden excesses of the modern game
I love this book, I had enormous fun reading it.a great book
Really nicely written. A brilliant book. Romantic, very recognisable things.
The author has compiled some wonderful things about our national game.I love this book. Wonderful. A delightful book.
A loveletter to nice things about football.fifty perfect little essays. A beautiful book.
A wonderful book.
I commend this book. Two pages are worth ten cliché-ridden football books. It evokes the nodal points of football memory.
Full of eternal delight. I loved it to pieces. Hymns that evoke the essence of the game. A fantastic book.
If you've ever wondered why people love football, the answers lie within...a damn good read.
A warm, smiling celebration of football's quirks, and of ours. Never mind how good a writer Daniel Gray is: what an eye he's got. You'll never watch a game again without liking some daft little moment and wishing you could share it with him.
A sonnet to football, whimsical and deeply rewarding.
A real midget gem of a book that fits perfectly into a jacket pocket for reading on the way to the match, or indeed during it if you're an England fan.
Gray beautifully articulates the pleasure offered by such pursuits as jeering passes that go out of play, listening to the results in the car, and spying a ground from the train window...his prose is exquisite...a physically slim but spiritually hefty treat.
