Abstract: Mark Collings had rated pigeons the lowest of the bird family until he met Les Green, head of the UK top pigeon-racing team - known as the 'Salford Mafia'... Les, a sharp-tongued ex-gang member, is the author's guide through the weird and wonderful world of British pigeon racing. Pigeons are big business: there are 60,000 pigeon racers in the UK, and rivalry can provoke arson attacks on lofts. A Very British Coop is the story of a journey taken from a pigeon loft in Oldham to a shot at the ultimate prize - The Sun City Million Dollar Classic.
