Writer/journalist/columnist/rekkem expatriate Thijs Delrue, ex-youth player of White Star Lauwe, wrote a funny and moving book about his failed dream of becoming a professional footballer and how he – now as a football father – still struggles with it. Should he nourish or puncture his son’s dream? And also: was he actually as good as he always told himself? The autobiographical novel is full of nostalgia and musings about that great lost childhood passion.
