Well that was unexpected. Gibraltar travelled to Germany and more than held their own against the World Champions in Friday’s EURO 2016 qualifier. With the German fans prepping their calculators and leafing through the record books in anticipation of a goal fest, they were left more than disappointed after limping to a 4-0 win.
To read the rest of this article, season 2014/15 is now available to download onto Kindle (and other electronic reading device) in full. Containing additional material and even some (poor) editing, you can get it here for less than the cost of a Griffin Park matchday programme or Balti Pie.
Thanks for reading and all your comments over the course of the season. For now, I need to make more space on the site for any follow up. However, ‘close season’ will continue in full, further along.

I only saw 10 mins of the game which included the unfortunate first goal. Yes Gibraltar were parking the bus, but it would have been madness not to at the World Champions. From what ive seen Gibraltar are better than either Luxembourg, Andorra or San Marino. And was that Artell playing?
You should have persuaded Clem to do a feature on Joachim Low!
