Taking football as its common theme, You Come With Me - I Get Tickets looks at how people from all over Europe react to the game. What do local fans think of their team, and how do they behave at the games? What songs do they sing? Is the atmosphere muted, fanatical or downright hostile? What kind of fireworks do they set off in Athens? How sharp are the guard dogs' teeth in Budapest? From Istanbul to Reykjavik, from Tbilisi to Helsinki, Andrew Gummer went to fifteen international games to find out. Everyone had plenty to say to him about their country's football, including Serb ultra-nationalists, German heavy metal bikers in Athens, Estonian referees, Cossack-dancing Ukrainians in Norway, taxi drivers everywhere, jailed Croatian war veterans, Russian skinheads, Romanian spivs, Turkish hoteliers, chain-smoking Georgian students, former Scotland Manager Craig Brown, the Secretary of the Icelandic FA, and a sex-starved, Polish-speaking, Arsenal-supporting Nigerian surgeon. nightclubs and hitching rides from on-duty Ukrainian traffic cops, he watched van Nistelrooy make his international comeback after knee surgery, and paid about 50p to see Luis Figo play in a waterlogged athletics stadium.

What are England's Euro2004 opponents like? This is the book to tell you.
