Wilson discovered his love for the game as a young boy; through his adolescence and adulthood and well into his later years it remained an important part of his life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFootball became Wilson's international passport, helping him find friends and community and solace all over the globe, from England to Israel to the US.  Whether working on a kibbutz or teaching literature to young Americans, traveling through Russia or raising children, the sport remained a constant in his life.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eKick and Run is a gripping, funny, sometimes heartbreaking account of a life well lived and a game played, if not always masterfully, then certainly with the utmost passion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChosen by Clive Sinclair as a Best Book of 2013 in \u003ci\u003eThe Times Literary Supplement.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140365697264,"sku":"9781448212538","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448212538_p0.jpg?v=1763827431","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448212538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
