a slim volume of blowers memoirs. from the 70s. i probably wouldnt get it for my dad though. it's pretty loose and sketchy, covers getting drunk, getting arrsested for slapping women about, getting drunk, prostitutes, getting drunk, nearly playing for england because everyone else had the s**ts, getting drunk, waking up naked in hotel corridors etc and so on.
