The hilarious and moving story of a man called Dave (a football fan) and his most precious possessions...
Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
Dave Roberts has been one of those annoying bike couriers, a security guard, a Civil Servant, a KFC chef who was fired for trying to steal a sample of the secret recipe, and a train driver - all before reaching the age of twenty. After that, he settled for a career in advertising, which was eventually cut short by illness, but not before accidentally winning a Silver Lion at Cannes. He now writes books, which all seem to have a theme in common: obsession ...
When Dave Roberts and his wife take the momentous decision to move to the USA, he naturally assumes that his treasured collection of 1,134 football programmes will be accompanying him on the plane. Wrong. In no uncertain terms, Dave is informed that space is at a premium and he will have to whittle his precious hoard down to what will fit in a Tupperware box. But how can any rational fan possibly choose between Norway v England and Crystal Palace v Man Utd?
As Dave relates the story behind each of the 31 (yes, 31) programmes he selects, they stir memories of times gone by, evoking bittersweet reminders of how far he's travelled. From the excitement of a boy's first game, through crushing teenage disappointment both on and off the field, to the strange places life can take a man, a football fan's world is never simple. And Dave would never have predicted the chain of events that lead to the final, 32nd programme and a homecoming that would bring a lump to the throat of even the most hardened midfield destroyer.
32 Programmes is a brilliant, funny, charming and heart-warming tale of an obsession. But it is also a story about the passage of time and the true meaning of family, friends...and football.
