       Dedication

      To the Irish people who

      have changed my life

       Epigraph

       But Leeds taught me something else – that

       work and will to win are just as vital as any

       instinctive skills you may possess.

      JOHNNY GILES, Leeds United Book of Football

       Today I decided not to think of you

       But was betrayed by a lazy pub window.

       I saw a slim tree whose delicate red leaves

       Rose and fell in the Thames breeze –

       A mixed-up drinker, at this time of year,

       I can taste Yeats in the beer.

      ROBERT GAINSBOROUGH, ‘Maude Gone Fishing’
