Published June 2021

A tour around the press boxes of more than 120 Football League and Premier League grounds, over a period of 30 years, primarily reporting on Colchester United and Ipswich Town.

From Manchester United to Accrington Stanley, from Layer Road to Portman Road, beginning at The Abbey, Cambridge, and ending at Moor Lane, Salford, this is a regional reporter's account of a colourful career spanning three decades.

Author Carl Marston follows the fortunes of both Colchester United and Ipswich Town, all over the country, from Plymouth Argyle in the south to Carlisle United in the north, from Grimsby Town in the east to Swansea City in the west.

Over the years, Carl has been left behind by the team-coach (at Torquay United), arrived late just once (at Wrexham), been treated like a king (at the Emirates) and struggled to get in (at Doncaster's Belle Vue).

Carl has enjoyed an unrivalled access to the goings-on at Colchester United and Ipswich Town over the last 30 years, attending thousands of pre-match and post-match press conferences.

 

About the Author

Bury St Edmunds-born Carl Marston joined the East Anglian Daily Times newspaper as a sports writer in 1989. After a stint following the dramatic rise of Cambridge United, he became the regular reporter of Colchester United after the Essex club's return to the Football League in 1992, spanning three decades across three divisions. He has also been a familiar face in the Ipswich Town press box, including two years shadowing the enigmatic Roy Keane.

Amazing how fast it works
Item Package Quantity: 1
This works so much better than the prescription cream I got from the doctor. I thought 40% was the highest available. Ease of use and it goes exactly where it's needed. Saw improvements after the second day of use.

Amazing cream to restore cracked skin!!
Item Package Quantity: 1
Cracking of my feet is not the problem. This has been the only cream I found that restores my cuticles!! My right thumb constantly stays dry and ugly. The convenience of applying like a ChapStick is wonderful. and allows me to grab and apply frequently. My cuticle has finally become soft and pretty. :) (Highly recommend)

Best Foot Cream I’ve Ever Used!
Item Package Quantity: 1
This is honestly the best foot cream I’ve ever used! My feet are incredibly smooth, and my heels look like they’ve never been cracked. I’ve struggled with dry heels before, and this made such a noticeable difference. Highly recommend!

Miracle
Item Package Quantity: 1
I wish I had before and after photos, my feet are in much better shape after using this. I still need to work on them more but I ran out pretty quickly but my feet were dry af. I used to “shave” my feet once a month this is the power of foot filing in a stick. I will never foot file again. I need to find a way to make it last longer but I think I will not need as much now that my feet are in better shape. Iykyk, get this. It’s greasy as all hell but it’s easy to apply and you can do it over a towel and then put socks on immediately before bed. I wish it was a bigger stick but it is not too pricy so it’s worth it.
