Author Stephen Goddard spoke to John Burgess, Simon Lewis and Ian King on the News Hour to talk about his new novel, 'Rattles and Rosettes', that tells the story of two young football fans - a Burnley fan in 1914 who journeys down to the FA Cup Final at the old Crystal Palace and on to the trenches of Western Europe, and a Palace fan who goes through the different horrors of the administration season in 2010, leading to a one-man mission to change football back to the good old days before his time.

'Rattles and Rosettes' is published by Ship of Fools on Friday 25th April, priced £7.99.
