Heartfelt Summary

Heartfelt by Aidan Smith

A lifelong Hibs fan takes on the challenge that TV's Faking It and Wifeswap were too scared to even contemplate as he tries to follow his team's hated rivals Hearts for an entire season. With gritty realism and riveting detail, Aidan Smith demonstrates the importance of loyalty in being a fan. Going undercover, he swaps his colours, drinks in rivals' pubs and even sings their songs, trying to get under the skin of the opposition. His personal accounts of match days with his father and his affectionate appreciation of fan culture are as absorbing and insightful as Gary Imlach's My Father and Other Working-Class Football Heroes. Like Imlach's book, Heartfelt reveals the source of a fan's passion for their team and is a must-read for every football fan dedicated to the beautiful game.

'Quite honestly the best book I've ever read about football'

-- Irvine Welsh

About Aidan Smith

Aidan Smith has lived in Edinburgh all his life. He chose Hibs over Hearts as a boy because the route to the latter's ground was across a building site and he used to hate getting mud on his bell-bottoms. A journalist since leaving school, he even surprises himself at how many times he can contrive a mention of Hibs in serious-minded articles about really important stuff.
