David Picken was born in England but spent most of his adult life in Hong Kong and Australia and, like many Australian football fans, promised himself that if Australia made it to the 2006 World Cup in Germany - he'd be there. The Time of My Football Life (or how I spent my long service leave) is David's journey to the tournament. Join him in his quest to find tickets - both legally and maybe not-so-legally (hello Jack Warner!) - his travels and beer-tasting through Germany, the ups and downs of following his two teams, and his thoughts about the eventual winners of that tournament in what was literally the time of his football life.
