Sixteen Walsall legends share their treasured memories of giant-killings and hard-won promotions. Alan Buckley tells of the conquering of Manchester United, while Peter Hart, Craig Shakespeare, Chris Marsh and Adi Viveash recall the humbling of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Match of My Life is a joy for Saddlers fans of all ages.
Sixteen Walsall legends tell the stories behind their most memorable games for the club, enabling fans of all ages to relive these magic moments through the eyes and emotions of the men who were there. Stretching from Allan Clarke's memories of FA Cup glory to Adam Chambers's account of how Walsall finally reached Wembley after almost a century of trying, this unique collection covers some of the most enthralling encounters in the club's history. Along the way, Alan Buckley tells of how the mighty Saddlers conquered Manchester United, Peter Hart and Craig Shakespeare recall how Arsenal and Liverpool trembled as Walsall came within a hair's breadth of reaching the Milk Cup Final, David Kelly returns to the afternoon when his hat-trick won a play-off final, while Chris Marsh and Adi Viveash look back on the day Walsall pipped Manchester City to promotion. Spanning half a century of Saddlers history, Walsall Match of My Life captures the precious memories of the heroes who mean so much to the fans.

Simon Turner's first book, If Only: An Alternative History of the Beautiful Game, told the stories of teams that were denied glory by the fickle finger of fate, something fellow, long-suffering Walsall fans can easily identify with. He lives in Lichfield with his wife Val, daughter Ellie and son Edward, whose baffling infatuation with Aston Villa sadly shows no sign of abating.
