"This honest, engaging memoir is perfect for footy fans, dog-lovers and anyone who loves heart-warming stories of real-life resilience."
“I never imagined that my life would be defined by football stadiums, much less by a dog. But here I am, reflecting on a journey that has taken me and my guide dog, Sam, to all 42 grounds in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), a journey that would not have been possible without the incredible bond we share”. So shares author Jon Attenborough at the start of Following Sam — a thoroughly moving memoir that shares details of an incredible journey around all 42 grounds of the SPFL by public transport.
Taking readers on a unique expedition of discovery, replete with planning issues, practical obstacles, the thrill of anticipation, and unexpected moments of both the positive and problematic variety, it’s shot-through with insights into visual impairment, while also revealing the power of the bond between man and dog, and the power of football to bring folks together. Above all, though, Following Sam is an inspirational against-the-odds page-turner of passion, resilience and unbridled joy.
