Beschreibung

Jon Attenborough, a visually impaired football fan, embarked on an extraordinary journey across Scotland with his guide dog, Sam, visiting every single one of the 42 Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) grounds. Jon and Sam made each journey by public transport – legends!
This memoir chronicles their shared experiences, blending Jon's love for football with the profound bond he shares with Sam. As they travel the length and breadth of Scotland, Jon navigates the challenges of accessibility, the unpredictability of live sports, and the warmth of Scotland's football community. From the bustling cities to the remote, windswept stadiums, Jon and Sam experience the rich tapestry of Scottish football culture, encountering passionate fans, legendary players, and unforgettable moments along the way.
Through candid reflections, Jon shares the emotional and physical hurdles they overcame, the joyous milestones they reached, and the unexpected friendships they formed on this journey. The memoir also delves into Jon's life before Sam, his struggles with vision impairment, and how Sam not only became his guide but also his closest companion and a symbol of resilience and hope.
This is more than just a football travelogue; it's a story of perseverance, the power of companionship, and the unbreakable bond between a man and his dog. It celebrates the spirit of the beautiful game and the communities that thrive within it, while also highlighting the importance of inclusivity in sports and society.
This inspiring and heart-warming memoir will resonate with football fans, dog lovers, and anyone who believes in the power of following one's passion against all odds.

    In 1988, Judge Joe O'Kicki was regarded by his peers as one of the most brilliant legal minds in the United States. He was newly remarried, sworn in as the president judge of a Pennsylvania county and on the fast track to a federal bench . . .  
     
     
     
    Silently, however, a state police vice unit was in the midst of covert operation into O'Kicki's personal affairs. The judge would be accused of soliciting bribes, frequenting brothels, and running the county as if he were a "battleship commander." Later he'd concoct a plan to flee the country and exact revenge on his enemies. 
     
     
     
    Set in the aftermath of the 1977 Johnstown flood and including courtroom testimony, the memos of whistleblowers, contemporary interviews, and excerpts from O'Kicki's unfinished tell-all memoir, Jailing the Johnstown Judge is a fresh examination of the extraordinary western Pennsylvania case that attained international infamy.
