Sobre este título

Brought to you by Penguin.

A BBC Arts & The Reading Agency's Big Sporting Read selection

A hilarious, heartfelt, nostalgia-infused story of sport, loss and the journey of a lifetime.

After the sudden death of his older brother, Dan, Jon Harvey turned to the thing that had provided their strongest connection: sport, in all its myriad sublime and ridiculous forms. He made it his mission to visit as many events as he possibly could in a single year – to build the ultimate season ticket.

A kaleidoscopic twelve months took him from London Olympia to ancient Olympia, from rugby balls to Rubik's Cubes, Wimbledon tennis to Wimbledon greyhounds, from tennis legend Roger Federer to darts hero Martin 'Wolfie' Adams, and much, much more. It's a celebration, of sport, life, and an unbreakable bond between two brothers.

Resumo da Crítica

Warm, sad and funny... There is something very eccentric and British about A Fan for All Seasons
Vivid and funny... This is a wonderfully touching book about fandom and grief
Both funny and frivolous, sad and serious… an uplifting book that ultimately serves to help explain and excuse the time we all spend watching sport
The book…[has] honesty and passion at its heart. Jon Harvey is an excellent recreator of the atmosphere at a packed stadium or a hushed theatre… Most affectingly of all, he shows how sport can play its part in grieving
