Preface
“Dad, we hate the Israelis, don’t we?”
The Ambassador, the Queen
and the Man United fan
On the way to the Land of Fire
The Horror
What’s the Basque for ‘offside’?
One of us – the death of Mikey Dye
Playing for peace in Kenya
On top of the world
This club belongs to me
and thousands of others like me
Kicking off in North Korea
All quiet on the eastern front
Firecrackers and flares
Albania’s twenty-first-century shame
Independence, plastics and the
biggest brand in the world
A tale of two towns
East London’s noisy revolution
Pride and privilege
A fiesta in the favela
History People
The last day of the revolution
Turn right at the camel
To the country that doesn’t exist
Red Dogs, Red Dragons –
from TNS to Bucharest
