For many people watching football is mere entertainment; to some it's more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself. For Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of the few constants in a life where the meaningful things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic - have rarely been as simple as or as conplicated as his love for Arsenal.

Fever Pitch catches what it really means to be a football fan - and in doing so, what it means to be a man.
