Audience Reviews

Terry Williams's rating

 A cracking show featuring lots of funny football related stories, anecdotes and jokes. Tony seems to have found an unexploited niche on the Fringe as football seems to be very much overlooked as a topic for comedy, especially at Edinburgh.

He manages to bring a healthy dose of terrace humour to his audience with a mixture of autobiographical tales of supporting the Tractor Boys combined with his observations on the current state of the 'Beautiful Game'.

All in all a very enjoyable show, which proves that not everything to do with football has to cost a fortune.

Who should go see it.
 Football fans of all persuasions but especially fans of smaller, slightly rubbish teams, like his own beloved Ipswich Town!
