Shattered Dreams

Fri Dec 11, 2009 3:04 pm

I started reading 'Shattered Dreams' again yesterday and remembered how much I enjoyed reading it the first time. I even read a few excerpts to my mrs to see what she thought of the whole Cardiff City world and why I love being a part of it.

She particularly liked the story of when Annis met Simon Insole for the first time.

Oh, and Annis, she thought you looked like Sam Hammam. :lol:

Will that book be no longer extant with recent happenings at the club. Seems like we're beginning to dream again.

I love the bit where Annis and Sam are travelling to meet a load of Swansea fans at some dingy venue in the vague hope of talking them into becoming Bluebird supporters as part of a 'United Wales' team.

On the journey down Sam is full of himself convinced he can pull it off, whilst Annis is a little more realistic with his thoughts "this isn't a good idea" :lol:

i am not an annis fan but shattered dreams is one of the best football reads i have had, a real incite into behind the scenes of our great football club, its mad, great, fun, sad and a roller coaster ride.
