Steak...Diana Ross: Diary of a Football Nobody by David McVay

David McVay played for Notts County as a young man in the mid-1970s. For much of the time, he kept a diary of what happened to him (mostly practicing football, playing football, and drinking with his teammates). After his football career ended, he became a reporter. In the early part of this decade, he decided to publish his journals. The result was this book, which I found to be quite enjoyable. One of my favorite parts was when he went to see The Exorcist and then was too scared to sleep for several nights.
