John Foster is a jaded Sunderland supporter who unwittingly makes a deal with a mysterious well-dressed man that he befriends on a night out. Soon after, he finds himself in an exciting new relationship with the beautiful and previously unobtainable Aimee, and a successful business partnership with nightclub promoter Gary. When John eventually discovers he has sold his soul to the devil so Sunderland can beat Newcastle six times in a row, what he doesn’t realise is that he must experience each victory through the eyes of six very different fans…
- Ryan has lost £200 and subsequently missed out on a Newcastle away ticket, but his worst fear is his dad finding out.
- Katie has just said goodbye to the most important person in her life, and this will be the first time she sits next to his empty seat at the Stadium of Light.
- Samuel is a posh boy trying to prove to his mummy he is sensible enough to go to the cup final. But can Sam hack the sesh at Newcastle away?
- Greg works for a marketing company, but when he has to work door-to-door in Newcastle on derby day, he questions whether he has found his calling in life.
- Kasey is a frustrated housewife and doting mother whose family doesn’t appreciate her, until she plots a diabolical plan to ruin each of their derby days.
- Peter is a Newcastle fan who has seen his team lose five derbies in a row. He hates Mackems already, but defeat number six may just push him over the edge.
This 386 page fiction-based-on-fact black comedy novel tells the tale of John Foster and his struggle to find his place in the underworld of Sunderland, while Sunderland AFC struggle to retain their place in the Premier League. In order to become a winner, John must first battle his own demons; literally and figuratively. Nightclubs. Football. Sex. Drugs. Flossys.
