One Northern Soul

J R Endeacott's coming of age chronicle set in the dark days of Leeds in the early 1980s. A series of stories recount the life of a young Leeds United fan condemned to leave school with no prospects, his virginity in tact, mass unemployment - all coinciding with the relegation of Leeds United to the second division. A good reminder of where the bright shiny new cities of the north were only a few years ago.
