Apologies if its been posted before but I only saw reference to it in a Guardian article recently

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/aug/07/joy-of-six-fictional-footba (See Point 3)

Steve Bruce wrote 3 novels in the late 90's early 00's. Reading the various excerpts included on the link below it would appear the first one was one of the most hilariously bad books ever written.

Has anyone read a copy of this masterpiece?

They used to have a regular feature on the Hawksbee & Jacobs show where they read excerpts from them.

Rare breed of footballer. One that can put more than two sentences together.

Judging by the book cover, the plot seems to involve a seemingly giant footballer who has been seriously injured (although the linesman doesn't want to get involved). Based on how catastrophic this looks, I wouldn't be at all surprised if our Samba hasn't been doing his worst.

Definitely one for Konk to review - I know he's a big fan of Brucie.

Edit: the bits about the Jaguar are brilliant. The fact that this got published has given my writing ambitions a massive boost.

No mention in that Guardian article of our very own 'P.B.Yuill'

“Duffy had a knife in his back. You don’t stab yourself in the back, do you?”
I almost smiled. Eddie knew all about stabbing others in the back, at least with words.


Ha ha, incredible stuff.

That review is absolutely laugh-out-loud hilarious.

The audiobook narrated by Alan Partridge would make too much sense.

That review is just f'in quality.

A great prematch fillet.

Right, enough of this joviality and general wonderment, where's the match thread...

I'll let Steve "Barnes" Bruce have the last word

I’ve just been snorting with laughter reading that review. Going from those snippets, that might be the worst book ever written. Genius. Thanks for the link.

I near cacked myself laughing, too.

If that isn't the worst book ever, it will do until Holloway decides to make an emission for posterity.
