Beyond that are a handful of non-football stories to prove that life does exist away from the sporting turf, touching on subjects such as the loneliness of mail-order brides and deranged central European traffic police.作者简介Ian Plenderleith is the author of For Whom the Ball Rolls and is a regular contributor to When Saturday Comes magazine.
