Are we as football supporters cursed? The answer to that is a resounding yes we are!
But, is that really such a bad thing?
We are cursed due to undying affection we show towards our chosen club, and regardless of success we follow them through thick and thin, through rain and shine.
Here then is a book that explores the mind of a football fan cursed with following his club – Sunderland AFC; a club that promises so much but at times delivers so little.
Cursed is the long awaited follow-up to Why Do I Do It? Sunderland’s best selling local paperback, Christmas 2003, and the continuing journey of one man’s obsession with supporting SAFC (concentrating on the 2003-2004 season) on the pitch, off the pitch, and within the realms of the World Wide Web whilst declaring at all times “Sunderland Till I Die!”
Why then does the author a lifelong Sunderland supporter, a loyal and dedicated ‘Mackem’ state that he loves Alan Shearer?
Well Cursed is finally here (well almost).
The book is currently running through the printing presses and is on course to be another local best seller. The shops have ordered it and it’ll be available soon from the usual outlets – Hills Bookshop, Ottakars (both Sunderland & Darlington), ALS, The Sunniside Internet Café, the SAFCSA shop inside and outside of the SOL and so on.
