I LOST MY HEART TO THE BELLES

Peter Davies, author of All Played Out spends a season with the Doncaster Belles and finds a unique group of people with an abundance of talent and a vividly earthly humour. They play hard in the pit villages and nightclubs of South Yorkshire, they play hard on tatty pitches in run- down suburbs and industrial estates--but they play for love too, and to a standard that could convert even the most blinkered chauvinist. About the Book "I Lost My Heart to the Belles is that rare thing in modern a true labour of love" --GQ "Witty, warm, wise and inspiring ... This is that rarest of sports a cracking good read that will appeal to the reader without the slightest interest in sport" -- Yorkshire Post "Not for the faint-hearted, the Belles can out-bloke the fellas ... risking lifelong disablement all in pursuit of the beautiful game" --For Him "A Fascinating story" --South Yorkshire Times The story of a Yorkshire women's football team. The author spent a season with the Doncaster Belles, and found a unique group of people with an abundance of talent and humour, equally at home in the nightclubs of South Yorkshire as they are playing on tatty pitches in run-down estates.
