{"product_id":"9781785312205","title":"Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating: A Love Affair in the Lower Leagues","description":"Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating tells the story of a lifetime aboard the emotional roller-coaster of inconsistency which is Exeter City - one of English football's most unfashionable and unsuccessful clubs. Like many football fans, author Simon Carter's football supporting life is a long way from the glitz and glamour of the Premier League; instead its high points are memorable trips to Halifax, Crewe, Carlisle and Maidstone. With the self-deprecation you'd expect from an Exeter City fan, on his travels with the Grecians he meets Brad Pitt and Freddie Starr; writes about Uri Geller in the local newspaper... with miserable consequences; and wins a tenner for scoring a goal in front of 3,000 fans - albeit past a small girl dressed in a large turkey costume! Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating provides the perfect antidote to those many books which chart tales of glory and success, and gives a light-hearted and real-life insight into what it's like being a fan on the bottom rung of the ladder that is English professional football.","brand":"Pitch Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176699412720,"sku":"9781785312205","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785312205_p0.jpg?v=1772805852","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785312205","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
