Season Review 2016/17

A Season in Blogs is my 2017 book written about Lincoln City’s National League winning season. Compiled of blogs, it tells the story of our rise from the non-league and our remarkable FA Cup run. It’s a book written by a fan, week to week, and tracks the journey as we saw it at the time, from humble beginnings to those nervy last few weeks.

Some Amazon reviews:

“A fascinating contemporary account of an amazing season as an Imps fan, from a lifelong fellow sufferer who wears his heart on his sleeve and writes brilliantly when the force is with him.

The benefit of hindsight makes some of the early blogs a delight, a few entertainingly wrong calls but an underlying sense that something special could be developing. As that ‘something special’ happens, the first hand account of a supporter’s experiences and emotions of the cup runs and the league success captures the raw essence of the developing ‘miracle season’.

Not only is this book essential reading for fellow Imps basking in the glory of 2016-17 after a lifetime of mainly dross and dashed hopes, but an insight for any football supporter of life in the lower reaches, the hopes, the aches, the sheer delight and incredulity as things come right in a way no one could have foreseen.”

“As a lifelong Imps fan and season ticket holder for many disappointing years, this was a remarkable adventure for us. I will, however, review the book without my red and white striped glasses on.

If you love football, no matter the level, this book sends you on a journey of emotions that are felt by every fan at some point of a season, pure unadulterated joy to complete despair. tears and laughter, the disbelief and self doubt that your team causes you. Written from the view point of a fan in the stands and the turmoil that brings. Spilling the guts of non league football, not a bunch of overpaid, overrated mercenaries.

Of course I loved it, but even if this wasn’t written about my team I would still have loved it. Unless it was about the Cods that is!”

“A must read for any Lincoln fan, or fans of football miracles in general. This isn’t a teary eyed eulogy about the 16/17 season written with the benefit of hindsight, it’s an ‘as it happened’ account written from the point of view of someone who bleeds red and white. If you want a proper record or want to be reminded of Lincoln’s record breaking season then look no further. Fantastic”

“This is the sort of football book I enjoy. It’s not about foreign, millionaires playing for a billionaire in front of wealthy tourists. It’s about a proper football club supported by proper football fans. Long live non league football!”
