    The Heritage Trust site had a comprehensive list at some point, but I’m ****ed if I can find it.

    The Crampsey book Final Edition (a Keith Murray Publishing publication around 1991) is often forgotten.

    Cheers. I read On Fire With Fergie in a oner. Really liked it

    Pattersons book is a good read too
    Read a lot of the books and Webster’s/Patterson’s were particularly good, Jay’s was a laugh as I was probably involved in most chapters...as for the kiddie oan casual Joan Rivers......I would not turn a page and he was told accordingly in Madrid.

    There are many good fitba books out there, some of the best are seria A/ La Liga in my opinion.

    There are some excellent books on Serie A. "Calcio" by John Foot is excellent and one of my favourite books on fitba

    The exiled dandy bumperGraham’s Barca,La Roja are both decent reads, our club took a table at another local club’s fundraiser a couple of years back, Tattie/Bumper were the speakers, had a laugh with Tattie pre gig and still cannot believe our youngest player at Ullevi is gone, on the back of Bumper’s gig I went and got the books which I enjoyed.

    La Roja also a cracking book

    If you want another good book on Spanish fitba. "Working Class Heroes" by Robbie Dunne. Its about the history of Rayo Vallecano and the author following them. He moved to Madrid to write a book on Madrid the city and ended up writing about RV instead

    They say everyone has one book in them. Dans should be used to inspire writers everywhere. If he can get that sh1t published, there’s hope for everyone.

    What’s the script with him anyway? Was he on the sidelines of the ASC & overplayed his involvement or a straight up Walter Mitty? I heard he didn’t have the best time in Madrid.
