When Kids Could Play Outside Tom Mansell

When kids could play outsideInjured and on the brink of death, cyclist Tom Mansell's mind time-slips to an age of innocence. Blazing from cover to cover with hilarious anecdotes, familiar to anyone who grew up in the 1970's Tom Mansell's personal recollections will fill you with nostalgia. Every crazy adventure, embarrassing memory and daring exploit calls to mind how wonderful, honest and care-free life was before the technological revolution. A time before computer games, when "all" we had to occupy our free time was: bikes, scrumping, camping, pranks on friends, street gangs, fishing and of course football with jumpers for goal posts....pure magic!
