Back o the Net!

This book is a reminder for those who have stood and suffered, sat, and celebrated, argued, fought and struggled as well as kept coming back, that supporting is more than just a game. I can assure you – it is much more important than that! DONALD C STEWART, Ayr United

It doesn't matter where you are in the world or what stage you're at in life – you never forget when you first set eyes on your football club.

Back o the Net! is an ode to the unwavering love that every football fan has for their club, comprising voices from many different walks of life. The devoted, the long suffering, the hometown fans, the ones who didn't grow up living in the same town as their team, the winners and the losers. All with the same underlying tie – they are dedicated and devoted to the very end.

Whether it's in the back o our net or theirs, we'll always love our team.

I'm a firm believer that supporting your local team, the team you've been brought up with, is very important, and I always will. I'm a season ticket holder, have been a shareholder and, like thousands of Fifers, the Raith Rovers result is the first one I look for every week. GORDON BROWN, FORMER P.M. (2007-2010), Raith Rovers

You may change friends, you may change wife, but you never change football team. Always a Warrior. DAVID McVEY, Stenhousemuir

We support our team, but we always remember the first time, the first place, the palace of the arts where we first watched them perform. GEORG MATHISEN, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy
