Paperback. Condition: New. The sheet is pulled back; the body is face down. He looks to the left shoulder for no more than a second or two and sees a tattoo. It's a Tranmere Rovers crest, with the club's motto, 'Lux et Robur', indelibly marked on the yellowing skin.He knows who this is. He nods again.In 1960s Liverpool, life is hard for Reggie Kellison. His marriage is stalling, baby number six is on its way, a fall out at work has put his nose out of joint and the football team he supports offers little relief. But Reggie has a plan. If it works it could give him the life, lover, and money he dreams of. If it doesn't, a jail sentence could be on the cards. Either way, he can only find out by risking everything, and playing the pools.
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Roddy Doyle meets The Full Monty in a story of hopes, dreams, love and betrayal - and the football pools. Reggie Kellison loves his family but it's a struggle. He has 5 children with number 6 on the way, his marriage is failing, and he dreams of a better life, a life away from the never-ending humdrum of struggling to make ends meet in 1960s Liverpool. He fantasises about running away with Laura from accounts, about his beloved Tranmere Rovers winning the league and about somehow (this is sketchy) making lots of money. Working at Littlewood's he pitches a cracking idea for a summer cricket pools, giving him the opportunity to win a fair commission if they take up his idea. Littlewoods rejects his proposal, but then, to Reggie's fury, bring out an identical game. Seething, he vows to get his revenge and plots a football pools heist, assisted by his brother-in-law Rodney and the delicious Laura. The scam works and Reggie finally has all the money he ever dreamed of but he doesn't get the girl. Laura flees to Australia with Rodney, and while Reggie is heartbroken, all is not as it seems. Decades later Reggie and Ronnie's sons dig deeper into this family secret but what does it reveal? And will Reggie finally forgive Laura and Rodney for breaking his heart?

Playing the Pools is his third novel following on from After Alyson (2012) and Snatched (2016). It celebrates his lifelong love of Tranmere Rovers and reflects on his childhood as the youngest of 6 children. Roddy Doyle meets The Full Monty in a story of hopes, dreams, love and betrayal - and the football pools Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
