Good question... it is to do with the nature of the book. It is my own story rather than a history of BHAFC, which has been done before. Each chapter is tied to a personal story and Wolverhampton is my natural finish point because it is where I live.

That's good to hear. Yes, it is! Not been a regular on NSC for some years, so feeling me way back in. Thanks v much

The book is called “Gauri: A Sin Between My Legs” by Saumyata Bisht... strictly speaking it is a novel, but the true story of the rape, suppression and humiliation and murder of young women in rural India, under the protection of the Hindu caste system. It is poetically written in style and is...

Ha ha that did send him gloves as well! A whole package if stuff! Sorry should have shown the whole lot!

In Apartheid South Africa the most common racial slur against black people was they stank. It was used to constantly demean them. I don’t know enough about Argentina, except there is a society racism whereby the lighter your skin the better chances you have in life. Not trying to put two and two...

As someone who lived through the 60s and 70s the three day week and power cuts were under Ted Heath’s TORY government!

I had a Saturday job (aged 16-18) in Boots the Chemist and served John Snow a couple of times. Remember how huge he was in stature and very polite.

Only during the Falmer plans and the appeal because a good friend is a very close relation to John Prescott... so tipped me regularly how it was all going... which is how I knew we had got approval about two weeks before it was announced. But nothing ever from a players/transfer end!

It was 50 years ago today... well two days ago: https://seagullnic.wordpress.com/2017/07/20/a-day-and-a-life-following-the-albion-with-a-little-help-from-a-friend/ Lost a few good friends along the way, but still Albion till I die.

I recall Stockdale's lapses in his first season with us and the "he's not good enough brigade". Yet he turned himself around and gave us two amazing seasons between the sticks. Part of the reason was forging an understanding with his centre backs. Leave Ryan with Ben Roberts and give him at...
