Ballfieber

Nick is crazy about football. At the age of eleven, he attended his first football match. Since then, football has been the most important thing in his life, more important than work or friends. He is a big fan of the London club Arsenal. And although football has its downsides, Nick will always remain a huge fan. "Fever Pitch" is an amazing book about football, not just for football fans. The stadium was full. It was loud. Suddenly, my girlfriend fainted. Her friend took her to a first aid station. And me? I did nothing at all. I prayed that we would score another goal. The praying worked. A few minutes later, it was 1:1. Nick Hornby (1957) is a British author. In "Fever Pitch," he tells about his own life as a football fan. It was his first book.
