Infos

Jon Attenborough, a visually impaired football fan, embarked on an extraordinary journey across Scotland with his guide dog, Sam, visiting every single one of the 42 Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) grounds. Jon and Sam made each journey by public transport – legends!
This memoir chronicles their shared experiences, blending Jon's love for football with the profound bond he shares with Sam. As they travel the length and breadth of Scotland, Jon navigates the challenges of accessibility, the unpredictability of live sports, and the warmth of Scotland's football community. From the bustling cities to the remote, windswept stadiums, Jon and Sam experience the rich tapestry of Scottish football culture, encountering passionate fans, legendary players, and unforgettable moments along the way.
Through candid reflections, Jon shares the emotional and physical hurdles they overcame, the joyous milestones they reached, and the unexpected friendships they formed on this journey. The memoir also delves into Jon's life before Sam, his struggles with vision impairment, and how Sam not only became his guide but also his closest companion and a symbol of resilience and hope.
This is more than just a football travelogue; it's a story of perseverance, the power of companionship, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog. It celebrates the spirit of the beautiful game and the communities that thrive within it, while also highlighting the importance of inclusivity in sports and society.
This inspiring and heart-warming memoir will resonate with football fans, dog lovers, and anyone who believes in the power of following one's passion against all odds.
