The one that changed my life. An antidote to the all the miserable memoirs which seemed ubiquitous at the turn of the millennium but are even more so now. Boy grows up normal in Northampton in the late 60s/70s, goes down the field, does some drawings, discovers punk rock in 1979 and frightens his parents.
