Can you see the left hand column, it’s at the top.
If not, click the small grey button at top right of screen, just below the headers and above <<previous next>>, the left column will then appear.

I got it - not all that intuitive but glad to make the purchase.

Dave, do you have a pic of the cover?

For some reason I can't upload the whole thing but you get the idea.



And maybe pics of the first 400 pages?

My copy came today, a present for my Dad, who came to Birmingham in the late 1950’s, he will love it

Mine too - I like this type of construct because I can go off-piste and pick and chose my own order. Read Blanchflower, O'Leary, Eamonn Deacey and George Best thus far.

Alas my Dad who came to Brum also in the very late 50s passed away a couple of months back. He did read 2 of Dave's previous books and liked them a lot, he would have loved this one.

Chris Nicholl up next for me - at 140th anniversary game my Dad was in the warmth of the Trinity Restaurant and Chris (as well as Gary Shaw) was the table representative for the club. My Dad reminded him of the goal he scored in League Cup replay against Everton and how my Dad used to remind his Everton supporting Brother-in-Law occasionally of the strike.

You won't be disappointed Eamonn.

I am saving the best 2, P Mc's until last.
