Stadium Yes/Living the Dream trilogy?

[AZ Gull]

Not quite a full shelf - am I missing any obvious ones?

In 1994 David Ticehurst (RIP) had "Brighton and Hove Albion: A Portrait in Old Picture Postcards" published by S.B. Publications.

John Baine (Attila the Stockbroker) has had a couple of football-related poetry compilations published, "Goldstone Ghosts" and "..And I'll Be Kit Napier".

Then there is "Gullhanger...Or How I Learned to Love Brighton and Hove Albion" by Mike Ward, and "Brighton and Hove Albion FC: An A-Z" by Dean Hayes.

Jonathan Wilson's excellent biography of Clough has a lot about his time at the Albion.

On the Whitcher front there are two others - Soccer: The Ace of Games and Sportsman's Club. Both have Albion stuff in them, the last especially.

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.

That is a diary that came with the newspaper headline book. Has a few headlines in it so I kept it.

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.

I did post a fair few quotes from Alec Whitcher's books here.

He used the money to help build the west stand from memory.

I think I have some of those - must be a secret cache of books in the shed or loft I haven't got around to yet. Definitely had the postcard one and Gullhanger and thought I had the A-Z as well.

What about the updated Build a Bonfire, with the additional 'Halftime at Hereford' section?

Just realised it is a different A-Z. Just noticed And Smith Must score as well - must get back in the loft as I think I must have some more and I can fill that gap.

Good shout - just got that and the A-Z from ABEBooks. Was tempted to get the A-Z from eBay though. Absolute bargain!
