Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating tells the story of a lifetime aboard the emotional roller-coaster of inconsistency which is Exeter Cityone of English soccer's most unfashionable and unsuccessful clubs. Like many soccer fans, author Simon Carter's soccer supporting life is a long way from the glitz and glamor of the Premier League instead, its high points are memorable trips to Halifax, Crewe, Carlisle, and Maidstone. With the self-deprecation you'd expect from an Exeter City fan, on his travels with the Grecians he meets Brad Pitt and Freddie Starr writes about Uri Geller in the local newspaper, with miserable consequences and wins a tenner for scoring a goal in front of 3,000 fansalbeit past a small girl dressed in a large turkey costume!
