East Stirlingshire weren't just bad, they were legendary for it. Bottom of the Scottish Third Division five years running. They were the team everyone laughed at, the ones you stuck a tenner on to lose without a second thought and dubbed the worst football team in Britain.
But for one football obsessed lad from Sheffield, they became something else entirely: a dream worth chasing.
This is the true story of how a childhood virtual obsession of playing Football Manager turned into real-life madness. Of how Spencer Fearn went from picking tactics on a laptop to drinking red wine with Ally McCoist and Walter Smith, chasing John Hartson to become manager, gaining a huge fanbase in Norway, crossing paths with Sir Bobby Robson and Sir Alex Ferguson to a night out partying with Frank McAvennie and having the odd brush with the Glasgow underworld, all whilst trying to fix the most broken football club in Britain.
This isn't a story about chasing glory. It's about grit, madness, and unshakable belief. About taking the club everyone had written off and daring to dream it could stand proud again.
Funny, moving, and at times downright surreal. Belief is for every fan who's shouted at the telly, every gamer who thought they could do better, and everyone who has backed the underdog. This is how Spencer Fearn bought the worst football club in Britain and what happened next.
