I've been reading Bill Bryson's new travel book, The Road to Little Dribbling. It's not as good as his earlier work, IMO; he seems to have become less 'witty' and more 'grumpy old man'. Lots of interesting factiods, though, as is his modus operandi. Before somebody points out that ''the forum for critiquing the work of cantankerous ex-pat American travel writers is next door", I will get to the point - on page 379 he goes to Goodison Park.
He talks some crap (Everton a secret in the city?!), but also has some good things to say e.g. he describes the Old Lady as "not merely the most venerable stadium in English football, but in the world." True dat. The bit about Kant is rubbish though.
I can't be bothered typing it out verbatim, so have attached the pages in image form. Enjoy.
