“I’ve measured my life in football grounds. While my friends went clubbing I got my kicks from away days at Halifax and Rochdale.” – Ollie Holt
Ollie Holt’s first football match was in November 1972 – Manchester City versus Manchester United at Maine Road with his Coronation Street actress Mum. Over fifty years later he completed seeing a game at all ninety-two English league grounds by watching Harrogate Town play Tranmere Rovers at Wetherby Road. In chronicling his epic journey, Ollie presents a vivid mosaic of a nation and sport’s character, diversity and social history.
