Biography & True Stories
Description
The story actually starts with Kevin Keegan, the Liverpool forward
with the extravagant perm who became Campino’s idol during the
1970s because he showed him which side he needed to be on.
And when Campino became a punk musician, England was the answer
to all his questions. He adored full English breakfast, London
and even the Queen. What could be more obvious than the decision
for the best football team in the world, Liverpool FC? This early
passion has summed up all the contradictions of his background
as the son of an English mother and a German judge. Did
it also have to do with the love for his mother and the austerity of
his Prussian-bred father? - In his first book, Campino talks about
all this, his German-English family and his burning passion for Liverpool
FC, which has quite a lot to do with his love of music. In it,
a musician shows himself as a narrator who writes about tragedy
and comedy, about loyalty and happiness - and about how it feels
to finally, finally be Champions of England.
