While I have never shared a passion for football with my father (because he has no interest in it), I realised after reading this chapter that a significant portion of my friendships back home in the UK were established through the medium of football discussions and a shared passion for the game. One such example is his description of the bond that arose between himself and his father that was afforded by their shared passion for the sport. Being British as well as an Arsenal fan definetely helped on this front, but there is a lot more to the book that resonated with me that I had not actually thought about until Hornby actually brought it up. Fever Pitch is one of the few books I have read thus far which I have had so many points resonate with me. I admittedly only finished the book this morning, but am genuinely glad that I managed to.
