I'm still waiting for volume 2 of From One Season to Another. Damn fine book that was and plenty to cover now from 2002-25.

Does it include a map of how far away from Ireland most of them were born?

You're not mad keen on the Irish, are you, PWS?

Edit: in football. Not accusing you of racism or anything like that.

I'm the Acker of international football.

Good point. I imagine if you total the distance of all of them combined who were not born on the island of Britain you’d still be way short of John Barnes’ Jamacia.

They weren't Irish either, surprised no one invented an Irish granny for them, Stephen had at least one extra.

It wasn't out for Christmas but it will definitely be published in the next couple of weeks. You'll be able to buy it once I get round to sorting out the PayPal link.

Perfectly timed for Villa's St Patrick's Day collection. Maybe the club could do a tie-in...

Trying to remember if you got to interview Eamonn Deacy for your Champions book - it's in my bookcase in Ireland but if memory serves, was there a chapter about each player?

Separate chapters for Con Martin the goalkeeper and Con Martin the defender?
