Jim White has coached his son's football team for the past six years. He is that touchline wally. He is the man who makes you nudge your neighbour in the sparsely-populated stand, point him out and say "Watch him. Look at him now. Ha. Oh. Oh my lord. What's he doing?" That is Jim White. Father and son and football. They love it. They hate it. They obsess over it. They argue. It's probably the only time they exchange more than three words to one another in an entire week. It takes over the entire house. And now, it's even made it into a book.

WarCraft?
picked last for anything at school apart from basketball (for which I was
picked in the bottom 10% anyway).

|comment= Yes, Magda - your son will force you to muddy football fields in the depths of winter. Treasure him before it's forced upon you.
