The Wrong Outfit Al Gregg

'The Wrong Outfit' by Al Gregg, is a powerful novel about a boy called Adam Nedman, who grows up through the 1970's and 80's and is greatly affected by both Football and Punk. Perhaps Adam was just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or perhaps he was in the right place but at the wrong moment? He could never quite work it out. Or maybe it was just from that very first moment? Mayberight there, right then. From birth. Like he was marked out by something. Like he was . . . . Damned. Well, that's how it felt sometimes. From home life to football terrace. Through school dazeto punk chaos. Perhaps there had never been any doubt? Adam was in the wrong outfit . . . . 'At times, a journey into Punk Rock's own "Heart of Darkness" Al realistically captures the moment Punk Rock finally implodes. If you want to know what it was like to be a young Punk Rocker, on the ground, at the time - you won't find a better/sharper book than this' Dave Parsons (Sham 69) 'A brilliantly talented new writer' Honey Bane 'Replete with childlike wonderment and an aficionado'sknowledge, Al Gregg might just as well do for Chelsea and Punk Rock, as what Nick Hornby did for Arsenal and Bruce Springsteen. A must for all purveyors of thepunk movement. An absolute must for all football fans' David Marx (Forward writer for Alex Ogg's'No More Heroes')
