Gritstone author Mike Padgett writes: Glad to report that Kicking Off was reviewed in the Yorkshire Post last month. It's great to see support for a Yorkshire novel written by an old lad from Barnsley. If you're tempted, you can order my novel through GritstoneCoop Gritstone Publishing, at local independent bookshops, Waterstones and Amazon.
As Ian Clayton says, Kicking Off is about more than a football match. It's a 'modern tale about place, memory, caring about the community and above all change'
Carol West, former chair of the Women's National League, says Kicking Off 'is a heart-warming and thought provoking story, celebrating second chances, challenging prejudices and showing that the biggest victories can happen off the pitch as well as on it'
