My tidy up continues and I'm trying to get all my books grouped together. I found Stadium Yes and Living the Dream with the latter saying it is the second in a trilogy. Was there ever a third book that I missed or have stored elsewhere? Nothing on the club shop website.

I did have the Coppell one but think I Charity shopped it after reading.

One of the greatest Albion managers ever, (Steve Coppell, not his book). Unforunately the love affair was all too brief. Another few seasons of him at the helm and we could have reached the Premier League.

What's the one on the top that's too important to live outside a plastic bag?

That's one of these newspaper 'headlines through the years' books that is still in its bag because I looked at it on the Christmas Day I was given it and haven't opened it since.

Would seem entirely logical that the third book in the trilogy has something to do with either being promoted to the Premier League, or documenting the first season in the Premier League. Realistically, what else could it be? So it won't be written yet. But hopefully will be very soon.

The first was the building of the stadium, the second was the first season so I would have assumed it would be the second season. If you are right then I'm calling "Commentator's curse" for not going up!

I was going with blaming Paul Hayward but as a 20 year relationship has taught me, everything is my fault so I'll go with it.

Have you not got Garry Nelson's books? Or the Mike Bailey autobiography?

Definitely remember reading Left Foot Forward but it may have been an audiobook. Haven't got the Bailey one yet - good shout.

What is the book with the plain cover next to We want Falmer?
Also the old books next to the Alan Mullery book, haven't seen those before.

They were written by Alec Whitcher who was a director (Chairman?) of the Albion. He also wrote a third called The Ace of Games, although I can't remember if that had any Albion content.
