FC ST PAULI PIECE WINS AWARD

Copy: Easyjet Traveller, January 2011

Earlier this afternoon I won a German National Tourist Board award for the story, at a ceremony in London. Obviously I was delighted to have the piece recognised, particularly as I didn’t enter it myself. Anyway, it was a lovely afternoon with typical German hospitality… and best of all there were two other Norwich fans on the table next to me.
