Saw something similar crop up a few days ago and I did something similar a while back but I have just had a bit of a tidy up so thought I would post a pic and see what I am missing. Although there are a few biographies, I don't really want to include all former players and managers - just really pertinent ones and Albion specific books. There are a few doubles - mostly because one is signed. I know I am missing one of the Alec Whitcher trilogy - always goes for silly money. But what else am I missing? I am a bit OCD when it comes to collecting so I don't want too many gaps. Might also be useful for any other collectors to have a definitive list.

I really recommend Ooh, aah, Stantona, a fabulous book, and well worth adding to your collection.

Sorry, I didn't notice you'd put it in there (the Great premium bond swizzle) and yes that was the original name!

Thanks for the suggestions. A-Z is there and I'm sure I have And Smith Must Score and the postcard one - need to have a squirrel around the loft.

If you're going to collect all the possible player and manager books as well, there's plenty more. I'll start with the aggressively titled "Bairdy's Gonna Get Ya!"

Charlie Oatway's bio

isn't there a little book of daily Albion facts?

Charlie is in there as are On This Day and Miscellany and no, I'm not looking for all the biographies.

Did you get a copy of the Argus match reports compilation "Flying High" in the summer? I asked family in Eastbourne to keep a look out at bookstores/newsagents but they drew a blank. I tried contacting the e-mail address on the advert that appeared in the Argus (below) but it bounced back. I'm still hoping to acquire a copy.

No, can't say I hunted high and low, but the other match report books from previous seasons seemed to be on sale in many places.

Wasn't there a kids' book called something like "A Day In The Life of a Footballer" featuring Peter O'Sullivan?
