GOALKEEPER - Memoir of Poet Peter Street (Games, Secrets, Epilepsy & Love) (Paperback)


One 'alone, but not lonely' boy's triumph over adversity, motivated by his dream of becoming a professional footballer and a longing for truth and connection.

A unique and vivid social document of the period, highlighting much of the discrimination still faced by minority and disabled communities today.
