An Abolute Must Read
43 years with the Same Bird. This is a brilliantly written book - The trials and tribulations of an ardent football fan - something that I can fully appreciate and understand. Brian Reade charts his story from a br /young boy to the devout fan he is today in a wonderfully heartfelt way. It is a must for every Liverpool fan to read. Thank you Brian for such a great read.

This is what being a Kopite is all about!
Want to understand what being Kopite since the Shankly revolution is all about? Then this is the book for you. Brian Reade reawakened so many memories for me and reminded me just why I love this football club. Great description of that dreadful train journey to Rome in '84, and a very good account of what really happened at Heysel. The senses of bewilderment, disbelief, anger and shame all leap out of the pages. The chapter on Hillsborough left me in tears: anybody who believes that the campaign for justice should come to an end should read this account in order to understand why the fight must go on. Reade also provides a very good analysis of how the golden years, which we thought would never end, were followed by the wilderness years of the 1990s, mainly due to the incompetence and lack of foresight of the Liverpool board following John Smith and Peter Robinson's departure. All in all this is a very good account written in a flowing, narrative style. br /Justice for the 96. YNWA.

a great book written by a fan for fans
After having received this book as a Christmas present amongst the usual Christmas fayre that an exiled scouser usually gets (Liverpool FC , The Beatles stuff) I decided to read this excellent book. If "putdownability" is a quality measure I read it cover to cover in a day. br / br /Reade charts the history of the great club from 1965 to present day, intertwining the clubs success or tragedies with his own. The books foundation is the authors' insight and metaphoric love affair with Shankley and the great red men through to the lows and highs of the clubs history. br / br /The chapter on Heysel and Rome provide the most honest and poignant assessment what happened in 1985 I have ever read. A must for all football fans...particularly Liverpool fans. br /
