Summary
There is nothing Simon Snow loves more in life than football. And there's really nothing in Baz Pitch's life other than football.
Baz Pitch is the star player of Mummers United FC, a low tier club he's singled-handedly put on the maps, along with the tiny northern town of Watford-on-Mummers. Simon Snow is a footie fanatic, founder of the MumU supporter section, and owner of the Sun and Goat pub. He's built a living out of watching Baz play, and it doesn't even matter that they haven't spoken since they were kids. Simon knows, no matter what, Baz Pitch is going to be the greatest player England has ever seen.
So why is Baz Pitch living in a middle terrace in the middle of nowhere, day drinking and doing (bad) yoga?

Summary
"It wasn’t that he didn’t love Pitch Manor. He did. He loved it terribly, viciously, horribly, with a wriggling possessiveness deep down in his belly. He was a Pitch, and the Manor was his. He was a Pitch, and he was the Manor’s."
**
Baz is twenty-three and weighed down by the responsibility of fixing up Pitch Manor. He's rattling around in a large house in the country with only a dog and a mean housekeeper for company. Simon is chasing down his family, starting in Watford. He has only his motorcycle, his name, and the blanket he was left with as a baby. And the answers to his life questions may reside in the crumbling manor at the edge of the New Forest.
