Jack’s Shirt, Deano’s Bottoms: A Carlisle United Memoir

With over four decades supporting Carlisle United, travelling to more than 100 grounds to cheer them on in close to 1,000 games, author Tim Pocock has written this memoir to celebrate his sporting life with the Blues. He uses his personal match reports to bring a contemporary feel to his memories, from being abused by the Paddock, pulled over on the motorway by a United legend and nearly assisting a United goal.

A former Carlisle fanzine publisher, Tim has written the book as a labour of love. It isn’t a balanced, objective history - it is for those who, like him, see the football world through Blue tinted glasses.

Expect the follow-up in five years to celebrate United winning the Champions League.
