Tom 13915 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeh it's a great book. It's basically the best bits of Dutch football, club & international. Starting with the origins of the professional game in Holland & total football & how the same theories overlap into different aspects of dutch life such as arcitecture & art etc etc. It gives a great insight into the theory behind their football, including 70's Ajax, Mid 90's Ajax & most of the history of the Dutch national team. There's a few good interviews in there & i'd say it's definitely worth picking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13915 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 No but I'll definitely invest in more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13915 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I quite enjoyed Slaughterhouse 5, badly written in parts but it was well worth the read. I've also read Bukowski's 'Ham On rye' which was total class, it was one of those books that practically reads itself, would have read it in one sitting had it not been for 7 a side but for once I scored a decent goal so I'll make the trade.
