Chris Nicholl, Jim Cumbes, Alan Little, Frank Carrodus, Bobby McDonald are already confirmed for the book launch. My Dad bless him was a financial adviser to several Villa players in the 70's. I'll never forget arriving home after work one night and Frank Carrodus was in our Kitchen sitting at the table discussing insurance or something with my Dad! I was in awe....one of my heroes! No football agents as such in those days!
A great day yesterday at the book launch. Chris Nicholl, Leighton Phillips, Sammy Morgan, Jim Cumbes and Frank Carrodus are really nice guys to talk to. Sir Brian even put in an appearance. I was in the hospitality afterwards and they came and did another signing session. I spoke to John Deehan at length especially his part and goals in the 5-1 thrashing of Liverpool in December 1976. Ken McNaught was there and Steve Staunton.
Can u buy with autographs or was it just a great opportunity to get them at this session ?
Going back to the book signing in the Holte Suite a couple of weeks ago, who was the chap in burgundy trousers hobbling round with a walking stick? People seemed to know who he was. I couldn't place him.
