Whilst the inevitable coverage has centered on Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac behind the scenes there are other stories involving the ordinary people the fans those who gave time and energy for no monetary reward who were helping keep the club alive during its darkest of times when the very existence was called into question, and this book tells one such story.
