The Bromley Boys
Agonisingly funny - perfectly captures the sad, futile, yet glorious world of the adolescent male football fan.
Harry Pearson, author of The Far Corner
The Bromley Boys is the best football memoir I have ever read. Dave Roberts relates his story with irresistable charm and sharp self-deprecating wit... The Bromley Boys deserves to be a classic.
Charlie Connelly, bestselling author of The Shipping Forecast
and Stamping Grounds; Liechtenstein's Quest for the World Cup
Funny, wise and extremely charming.
The Guardian
Reminds you of Danny Baker's 606 at its vintage best.
The Independent
This marvelous memoir is a must-read...exceedingly funny...among the very best books with a sporting theme.
Yorkshire Evening Post
With laugh aloud moments as young Dave Roberts reveals his love for Bromley, sheepskin coats, skinheads and his best mate’s big sister, The Bromley Boys is well worth a read.
Kent On Sunday
Genuinely funny...thoroughly recommended.
When Saturday Comes
Will strike a chord with football fans everywhere.
Adrian Chiles, author of We Don't Know What We're Doing
Want to sit quietly in the corner of the bus? Then don't read The Bromley Boys. It will make you laugh (and occasionally cry) so much you'll get thrown off.
Martin Baker, author of Meltdown
and football writer for The Observer and Telegraph
I loved it...extremely funny. A must-read for anyone who loves football.

Nothing has been as good as Fever Pitch. Until now. Laugh out loud funny...The Bromley Boys is a real treat..a must read for any football supporter.

One of this year’s best sporting books.
Kentish Times
The Bromley Boys is a wonderful book and I've no doubt you'll enjoy it greatly. It's funny, charming, engaging and enlightening in equal measure...you'll enjoy reading it from cover to cover.
Some People Are On The Pitch
An amusing and well-written piece of work, the book keeps your interest and, ultimately, makes you care about the fate of Britain's worst team.
Jon Carter, ESPN
It is a charming tale... A recommended read for all.
A Cultured Left Foot
Roberts writes with a wry wit and gentle love for his younger self... highly entertaining and beautifully handled. If you are a football fan, this is a must read.
