Please Don't Take Me Home is the story of one man's boundless love for Fulham FC. The 20-year journey of Italian immigrant Simone Abitante and his connection with the Cottagers is about football, beer, passion and friendship. It's a heartfelt account of how a relatively small London club came to dominate his existence.
Please Don't Take Me Home is the emotional tale of Italian immigrant Simone Abitante's 20-year love affair with Fulham Football Club. After leaving his native country, Simone falls in love with London and its oldest club, embarking on a personal mission to spread the word and get Fulham recognised beyond Britain by as many people as possible. Following the Cottagers through the most successful spell in their modern history, Simone takes his nephews to Craven Cottage where - together with new friends and Whites addicts Jeff, Mark and Ben - they experience unforgettable wins, exhilarating highs and devastating lows, amid rivers of beer, true friendship and an unquenchable passion for the beautiful game. Even after leaving London for Mallorca, Simone keeps following his beloved Fulham, with that famous white jersey serving as a second skin. Played out against a backdrop of heartbreaks, departures and life-changing decisions, Please Don't Take Me Home is a footballing story every fan can relate to.

Simone Abitante is the author of a popular blog and has written for various websites and local papers in the north-east of Italy during and after his stay in London. He writes about Fulham FC via the successful Facebook page 'Il Calcio a Londra', and in 2017 published his first novel, Boom: When my Parents Won the War, based on his parents' experiences during World War 2.
