description: A book in which Wilf Mannion rubs shoulders with The Sunderland Skinhead, recollections of Len Shakleton blight the lives of village shoppers, and the appointment of Kevin Keegan as manager of Newcastle is celebrated by a man in a leather stetson, crooning "For The Good Times" to the accompaniment of a midi organ. The Far Corner is a tale of heroism, human frailty, passion, and the perils of eating an egg mayonnaise stottie without staining your trousers.
