Nor could I. The Fever Pitch book is one of my favourite books.

The film is very different. It cannot be compared stylistically or structurally to the book and that is why it works in its own medium, as a story based on the book.

It is a great adaptation. It is not the same.

Whenever Norwich get relegated, or miss out on promotion or whatever, I put it on and share Colin Firth's pain. When we win, I can put it on and know that he is portraying my joy accurately.

A perfect, perfect film about being a football fan.
