The Little Book of Boro #1

Love football? Love Middlesbrough Football Club? Here are the prize winning and short-listed stories from Sixth Element Publishing’s inaugural 2019 WE ARE BORO Short Story Competition, collected into eBook format for the first time.

Write about the Boro, we said here at Sixth Element. Fiction, true life, we didn’t mind, we just wanted to capture the passion, exasperation and true heart of the fans. And that’s exactly what is in this little book. From Ayresome Park to the Riverside, from tomato sauce buns to chicken parmos, from selkies to goblins, working men’s clubs to away games, what comes through in this collection of short-listed short story competition entries is a genuine, deep-rooted, through rain or shine love for the Boro, however well or otherwise it’s going on the pitch.

“Football fan stories at their very best. If you’ve loved the Boro your whole life, this book will tug at your heartstrings.”
