Received my signed copy today, and I'm n.o 2 on the roll of honor after the author himself.
Hand delivered by the author Colin Abbott too. ;D
Colin mentioned that he's been researching to write a book on the '57 FA cup winning team.
Another great book on the way then.

Tell us more about buying this book. Didn't know there is a book out about Nigel Sims.
There is one on amazon

Thanks for that link Legion.
I'll have to go and meet the man in person.
I was actually named after Nigel (although I didn't arrive until '59) so he's always been a bit of a hero of mine.

Nigel is my great uncle, and to my Dad's eternal shame, he sold Nigel's FA Cup Winners medal for beer money.
