So here goes...<br /><br />From a purely football (soccer) point of view, McGinniss wrote one of the most memorable books I've read on football - "The Miracle of Castel di Sangro". <br /><br />Following the travails of a small team in the interesting world of Serie B in Italy, McGinniss was given ample inspiration to fashion a memorable book that took the reader into the midst of one hell of a crazy season. <br /><br />I've bought countless copies for friends over the years, and whenever I've chatted about the book with strangers I've yet to come across anyone who's read it who thinks it anything less than a football classic.<br /><br />A truly gifted writer.Hairmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889615595303913361noreply@blogger.com
