'An essential account of Hull City in the early 90s'...
Special Attraction charts the decline of Hull City AFC during the 1990s. The sequel to Not All Ticket, it again combines matchday memories with the sights and sounds of the city. More than just a tale of sporting woe, it captures the essence of just why we follow failing sports teams and, indeed, the enjoyment that can be had from doing so.

'A brilliant evocation of growing up with football and music in Hull in the 80s'...
Not All-Ticket follows the rollercoaster ride of Hull City AFC in the 1980s, from receivership to redemption. First-hand terrace tales and musical memories combine to form an uplifting coming-of-age story. Told with heartfelt affection, it recounts an unforgettable chapter in the story of an unfashionable club from an often unloved city.
