i havnt got my copy yet, send it on to me milly

I have just finished reading it all 287 pages and it’s brilliant and without giving any spoilers away here is my quick review.

1. Hooliganism

It would make absolutely no sense for Annis to write a book about his life without mentioning his self-confessed participation in football hooliganism.

However, there is no glorification and neither is there any apology. Annis very much sees himself as a product of the times (late 70’s & the Nineteen Eighties) where frankly a large percentage of young boys/men took part in football related violence.

Annis gives graphic accounts of clashes with other firms and also describes how he first caught the bug as a naive 14 year old and how he developed close bonds with other Soul Crew members. BTW from my perspective it was fascinating read as I’m of that age and remember the era well.

2. The Writing

The book is so well written and it flows fluently from page 1 to 287. There is no fancy language or hidden agendas and there is great use of the narrative and descriptive lines. At times the book reaches out and envelopes you in the tension, for example I was gripped by the story about Annis facing a 2 week Crown Court trial for affray and his meeting with Sam Hammam at his house when a few home truths were aired.

3. Sam Hammam

Anyone who thinks Sam gets an easy ride in this book will be totally shocked. Annis is almost brutal at one point in pointing out the failings of Sam (which he said to his face), although he never wavers from his belief that Cardiff City would be nowhere without the intervention of our ex-Chairman in the year 2000.

There are also some surprises as we find out who Langston are and the likelihood of what the very near future holds for the loan note problem.

4. Family

Being a soppy sod this is probably my favourite part. Over the past 10 years or so Annis has gone through a fundamental change in his family make up and almost overnight he went from a family of himself and his parents, to a family of a devoted wife and gorgeous daughters. His parents died in close proximity to each other and this changed the man forever.

That said the years when he and his father worked on different entrepreneurial projects is amazing stuff. Everything from nightclubs to hotels as well as getting involved with the cheap cosmetics industry years before Vincent Tan had ever thought of eCosway.

5. Cardiff City

After his family CARDIFF CITY AFC is obviously the most important thing in Annis’ life. I often got the feeling that he thought of the club as extension of his family, may be even the little brother he never had and as a result he cared deeply for it and would fight tooth and nail to protect it.

There are many tails about clashes with board members, protest marches and my favourite ditty when he went into the players changing rooms to confront Alan Durban! Come on anyone who remembers him would pay a lot of money to have done that.

All in all I can’t recommend this book enough. It goes above and beyond Shattered Dreams and gives a fantastic insight into an incredible lifestyle about a passionate guy who is determined to succeed in everything he does.

Adam, Yes without a doubt and you
