The Time of My Football Life (or how I spent my long service leave) is Davids journey to the tournament. Join him in his quest to find tickets - both legally and maybe not-so-legally (hello Jack Warner!) - his travels and beer-tasting through Germany the ups and downs of following his two teams and his thoughts about the eventual winners of that tournament in what was literally the time of his football life.
