Fish, Chips & Football perfectly captures the joy of non-league football - discovering new towns and villages, chatting to new friends, pubs, pints, burgers, banter, delayed trains, lots of laughs - and groundhopping. The author watched 103 games from his base in Eastbourne and along the coast from Dover to Havant - from the shiny professionals in their stadiums to those who play on muddy, forgotten fields. This is a story of how football used to be.
