ATT MODS: Any chance this can be made a 'sticky' between now and the Middlesbrough game? Cheers.....
Greetings one and all,
Spencer Vignes here....if the name rings a bell it might be because I’m an Albion supporting journalist who has written for many national newspapers down the years as well as contributing to our match day programme ‘Seagull’.
I’ll cut to the chase. Some of you may remember, or even have read, my 2007 book ‘A Few Good Men’ in which I selected my all-time Albion XI, dedicating a chapter to each player. The book was an absolute blast to write and, judging from the feedback I received, just as much fun to read. All 11 players willingly gave up their time to be interviewed as did many other Albion old boys who were keen to share their memories and opinions. If names such as Gary Stevens, Steve Foster, Mark Lawrenson, Peter O’Sullivan and Bobby Zamora mean anything to you, then you’ll probably enjoy this book.
‘A Few Good Men’ is still available in the shops priced £14.99. However, I’ve managed to liberate a number of copies from the publisher’s warehouse and am offering them for sale at just £5 per book until stocks run out. There are two ways you can get hold of a copy. One, send a cheque for £6.90 (payable to ‘Spencer Vignes’) to 12 Granville Avenue, Cardiff CF5 1BW, not forgetting to include your address. I’ll then mail it to you. Alternatively you can avoid paying postage and packing by collecting a copy straight from my hands at the Middlesbrough home game on Saturday 20 October. I’ll be available outside the press entrance to the AMEX (which is to the right of Dick’s Bar as you face the stadium) from 1.30pm until 2.45pm, then again after the game between 5.15pm and 5.45pm.
Failing all else then by all means call me on 07956 951144 or e-mail spencervignes@hotmail.com and we’ll come up with some kind of alternative arrangement.
Thanks for your time folks and up the Albion!
Spencer
