Anyone interested in reading a bit about the culture of Italian football and Hellas Verona in particular should give Tim Parks 'A Season with Verona' a read.
The author lived in Verona at the time, and was already a regular at their games, but decided to spend a season going to every home and away game.
A brilliant song read, bit of a travelogue, often very funny, highly recommended.

Just passing through Verona on the train to Padova just now. On a bright autumnal Saturday lunchtime I can see exactly why this town was appealing to Liam -a great place to live the best life!

Pity he didn't get the chance to deliver for Scotland tonight.
it's only a short hop over to Albania from Verona.

Golazzo podcast this week is all about Hellas Verona, really good listen, I didn't know they won the title in 84-85, the only time a provincial side has ever won the league? A kind of early Leicester City Cinderella story. Henderson doing well in a defensive midfielder role this season according to James Horncastle.

Sampdoria won it in the early 90’s, play in Genoa, which is bigger than Veròna, but clearly not one of the major Italian cities.

Nothing at all to do with Italy but if there are fans of good non-Hibs football books, then you should check out 'The Greatest Footballer you never saw - The Robin Friday story'.

It'll be a big challenge for Hendo to get regular games this season thanks to the promotion to Serie A. He didn't start any of Verona's pre-season friendlies until Sunday, when he got the full game v SPAL in a 0-0 draw.
Verona have signed two very good midfield players from Genoa in Bessa and Veloso, as well as Badu on loan from Udinese, although they've also lost Gustafson, who started most games last season. Hopefully it continues to go well for him.

He's still pretty young, so hopefully like SJM can keep developing and form the core of Scotland's midfield for a long time.

I actually work beside a die hard Rangers fan who is incredibly fair and lucid compared to most I have come across, whereas the Jambos at work have this weird false sense of entitlement that you usually associate with the OF.

The description of long uncomfortable bus trips to the south of Italy are so funny. Strange to think that for some of the far off away games, the bus load of 50 fans or so were their total support, and that was for a Serie A team.
Must dig it out and read again.

Whiles we’re on the subject of football books, a favourite of mine is by Gary Imlach (who some will know if they’ve ever watched Tour de France coverage), it’s called “My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes”. Intelligent, warm and passionate description of what football players endured in the 50s before there was any money for players.

What I liked was that he was the first name on the list for the bus leaving the local boozer at dark o clock for a game somewhere down the welly boot the following 3.00pm five minutes before the bus is due to leave all these waifs strays radges psychos and tidy burds appear from no where and we set off on a rollercoaster ride
It is Hellas Verona against the rest of the world with their own twisted standards and ideology with various run ins with society and authority
Each chapter is a short chapter starting off with their current league position and a short match report of each game as it unfolds making it an easy read for the busy football fan
Thoroughly enjoyable a good laugh and an excellent read
It is set in the early noughties and a lot of the issues covered are still relevant today
Edit:
Miracle of Castel is an excellent read as wellLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 07-08-2019 at 10:11 AM.
