Description

I am the product of a blank generation. I live for kicks. I live for me. Birkenhead, 1979. The Pack, a violent mob of Stanley-knife-wielding football hooligans, follow their team across the Northern wastelands to their away games - earning a reputation as the nastiest crew in the Third Division.

For the young working-class men with no way out, their lives revolve around the fashion, the music and the mayhem.

But for two of them, Carty and Elvis, escaping towards a different future might mean leaving each other behind. Quickly gaining cult status when first published, Awaydays is both a powerful evocation of a time and a culture, and a poignant coming-of-age story about finding your identity, escaping your circumstances and the unspoken intensity of male friendships.
