Book description
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WALKING OLLIE AND ALONG CAME DYLAN
The Premiership is not all glamour, particularly not now Stoke City Â-
the ugly ducklings Â- are involved... In 2008, Stoke City managed to
grind their way into the Promised Land of the Premiership. Under the
uncompromising guidance of manager Tony Pulis, they were never going
to be pretty to watch. Lifetime Stoke supporter Stephen Foster
describes a club with a chip on its brawny shoulders, whose tactics
were built around heroic defiance of superstars earning 150 grand a
week ¬Â- and, of course, Rory Delap's long throw.  And She Laughed
No More, the sequel to Foster's bestselling She Stood There Laughing,
chronicles the blood, sweat, tears and triumphs of an unlikely season
when the Potters were rescued from their lower league nightmare and
transported to the Theatre of Dreams at Old Trafford (where they lost
5-0).
Stephen Foster is the author of the top ten bestselling Walking Ollie
and Along Came Dylan, which have sold more than 150,000 copies, and From
Working Class Hero to Absolute Disgrace. She Stood There Laughing, his
account of a season following Stoke City, was one of the bestselling
sports books of 2004. He lives in Norwich with his partner and Dylan.
