The Goal Gourmet - The Peter Kitchen Story

Last updated : 15 September 2006 By Martin Scott
Rated an absolute legend by 95% of the respondents to a www.football-england.com survey, Peter Kitchen never played higher than Division 2 (in old money) but certainly could, and should have done.

In this excellent and frank biography by Neil Kaufman we are taken comprehensively through the career of Peter Kitchen, in Peter Kitchen's own words, from Mexborough to Rod Stewart's Vagabonds to O's promotion day at Oxford United. His deep affection for both Leyton Orient and Doncaster Rovers comes through as does his not so flattering opinions on certain managers and other clubs he played under and for. The book pulls no punches on his personal life and is an intriguing insight into the thoughts of a professional footballer.
