    My dad is an author and I reckon I’ve got a book or a script in me lurking somewhere. I quite enjoy creating nonsense characters of which there are quite a few in my head from over the years. I reckon a comedy based around kids junior football could be good - Jossy’s Giants meets Phoenix Nights kind of thing.

    The big question here is whether all the characters stayed in your head or you've already unleashed some of them on the unsuspecting public....

    I refuse to use Amazon since Bezos disappeared up Trump's back passage, is it available anywhere else?

    I’ve seen a few crimes down at Oakwell but sadly they were fact rather than fiction :D

    Yes, I remember Rick Goby sending out the newsletter, back in the early 90s. I was still fairly new to the London branch and living in Brighton. I managed to convince my girlfriend to drive us up to Watford for a Tuesday night game (it cost me the price of a new coat for her in the Harlequin Centre in the afternoon!). When we went to the pub that Rick had mentioned we found it was no longer there and an MFI or something was standing there instead. It was the days before everyone had mobile phones, so we didn’t see the others till we got in the ground.

    Cheers for bringing this up, should be a great read. Your mate sounds like he’s watched us over a similar period to me so be plenty to relate to.

    First game was 78/79 - we took our first away trip to Anfield together. He's a good lad and the book is from the heart

    A good first season that one. Mine was a bit earlier, 73/74. The Iley years weren’t much to write about anyway!
    I’ll definitely buy it to read on holiday in Portugal at end of September. Looking forward to it.
