    Has anyone actually received a copy? It was published on 30th September and i ordered one, but it still hasn't arrived. It is coming from a reputable high street store, so i just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. Let me know.

    Thanks. I guess that I should have thought of going that route. Cheers.

    Will look forward to reading it. I used to work with his daughter at Yorkshire Bank. Watched him play from 74 to 79.

    Already got a copy here. Quite expensive at twenty quid with postage for a paperback. It had a sticker on the back page that was a pain to remove and the writing on the back page is rather blurry so should have a word with the Polish printing company they used so that future copies that are printed are better. It would have been nice for the price for it to have more photos especially in colour.

    The main bit though is the stories told by legend and it was signed so it is still worth getting one.

    Damn. You win.
    I think I once had an autograph book that he signed. Simpler times. :)
