Dons Autobiographies/Biographies and General Dons books

[Pacman1903]

I got The Red Army today.......

Some fantastic pictures in it from all eras The fantastic possibly the best fitba fan pic ever with all the bunnets is obviously there. But there is one from the same day of the Soother stappet full of bunnets. I had never seen it before. But the best has to be pages 146/147. R*****s in 1929. Awesome

A few folk i know dotted through and also a few folk i used to kick lumps out of and get lumps kicked out of by when i played.

One slight issue though. Some of the captions come across a bit cheesy

Sad news. Lovely man.

Jack Webster was a superb writer and it was due to reading his autobiography that got me to pick up the book Sunset Song, which along with the other two books in the trilogy, would rank easily in the best books I have ever read.

Thanks & RIP Jack

Never Again is the retrospective horror story of 1994-95. Three print runs and pleas fae bookshops for stock once it started selling.

I’m sure you could find a copy cheaper than this. I did have a spare copy (special bound contributor edition) at one time, but gave it to a good cause raffle/auction.

You’ll understand my gritted teeth at the mention of Thompson’s ‘67 book. 😬

Yes.
But my teeth grit for different reasons which I will explain in person at some point.

Dobs Red gave me the griff when, out of 42998 other radges and rapscallions, he somehow had the seat in front of me at the 2014 League Cup final.

I think the words ‘Tory’ and ‘****’ may have featured.
