Do you ever hear an old song and are immediately reminded of a time from your past? Of course you do; we all do. Spurred by his own musical reminders, Alan Allsop tells the story of his life. Childhood innocence; teenage angst; overcoming bullying; dreams achieved; dreams shattered; joy and tragedy, fun and fears. A whole range of emotions over the best part of sixty years are laid out here. The various strands of his life: love, family, career and a lifelong dedication to following Sheffield United are bound together by the underlying humour that helped him through it. Punctuated by references to around 700 songs that trigger the memories, the ups and downs of life's rollercoaster are detailed here in Alan's own forthright style. With something for everyone to relate to, and ponder over, Alan tells it how it was for him. An ordinary life?...........You decide.
