    FAO Sub

    What are the odds against this Sub ? I've just got a new Kindle for Christmas and have been sorting out and re-organising my old Collections. One was called Books to Buy and there was just one book in it, 'Jimmy Adamson, The Man who said No to England.' I was fairly sure I had actually bought and read this book, so I just opened it at a random page to see if it seemed familiar and I had actually read it. The first sentence at the top of the page read, 'An email from **** ****** was waiting for me when I got back at the end of June 2012 from Greece'. From all of the hundreds of books on my Kindle and the thousands of pages, that I should land on this page by chance is just uncanny.

    My best wishes to you both and Ken for the New Year.

    Incidentally, for anyone wondering what I'm rabbitting on about, **** ****** is the real name of my good friend Supersub.

    It was meant to happen sinkov, lol.
    At the request of Dave Thomas, I carried out quite a lot of research for that book in this area and it led to quite a number of interesting football and local history facts apart from those relevant to the book.

    Happy New Year to you and Ken sends his regards and hopes that you are keeping well.
