But occasionally over the years he’s found it impossible to turn down a particularly enticing assignment or, in the case of the 2012-13 Premier League, just unable to resist  writing about that most spectacular of seasons.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFortunately for those who love great writing about soccer, all these fugitive pieces are collected in \u003ci\u003eFan Mail\u003c\/i\u003e. You can follow the fortunes, as Hornby did, of a hopelessly out-of-their-depth Cambridge United in the old Second Division, discover why Perry Groves was an unlikely hero among Arsenal fans, enjoy Hornby trying to explain the World Cup to Americans, and share with him the pain of watching his national team.\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076649369840,"sku":"9780698156883","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780698156883_p0.jpg?v=1763614110","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780698156883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
