It is a book to read avidly from cover to cover * www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk * Excellent * Choice Magazine * Very enjoyable * The Financial Times * Out of Time describes with charm and self-deprecating humour the attractions of sexual fumbling, holidays abroad, the London music scene, Chinese food and much else.

Theres a way we football fans have of clapping with our hands above our heads. There are many passages in Peter Chapmans book even single sentences that make me want to do just that in sheer admiration. For good measure, perhaps Id throw in a cheer and an expletive of delight too. -- Adrian Chiles * The Tablet * Peter Chapman's exercise in nostalgia Out of Time reminds us of a year when for England, almost anything seemed possible, on and off the pitch, 1966 * Philosophy Football * This evocative book interweaves Peters personal memories with recollections of major events of the time and, of course, that World Cup triumph. * Choice *
