Scottish Football Forums

In a double-host and double-guest special, regulars Jeff and John B are joined by friends and authors Kevin Donnelly and Mauro Bonvicini. The pair met at San Marino v Scotland in October 2000 and have remained friends ever since. Kevin has recently released his second book called Le Kilt, a sequel to previous publication Chancers, Dancers and Romancers. Without giving too much away, he explains the concept of the book which is based on part-fact part-fiction from Scotland's qualification to France '98 and from the finals themselves. All the proceeds from Le Kilt are going to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. Mauro has the unusual tale of being an Italian who took a fascination to Scottish Football going back to the Mexico '86 tournament. He talks about this journey that led him to attending several Scotland games over the past 21 years and led to him writing his own book called "Il Ruggito di Hampden", written in Italian to tell his tale to his natives. The rest of the chat centres around both guys best and
