Smokies & ‘Pies by Mike Gyles

If you’re someone for whom sport has been an important part of your personal journey through life, you’ll be able to relate to Mike’s story. In his entertaining memoir, you can follow the highs and lows of a lifetime in which sport has taken him to six of the seven continents of the world.

From his early days in Scotland using either thumb, bike and the occasional train or car journey, we discover how determined he has always been to get his regular football fix. Then, after his move south of the Border, we read of how his love affair with the FA Cup winners (of 1894) evolved.
