I have just finished a book written by Harry Redknapp called Always Managing.  It's a very good read and gives you a glimpse as to what goes on at a Football club from the inside.  I recommend it to all Fishy members especially to see what can affect transfers and also see how one player can effectively run the dressing room, and not in a good way.  There are many interesting snippets that will open your eyes into the running of a club.  Go on, have a read!

I was looking to buy that one next, just finished both of Roy Keanes books and before that I read Keith Gillespies which was excellent! Moving onto Jamie Vardys next.

I really like the sort of books that give you an insight into lower league clubs and footballers if anyone has any recommendations? I have read Buckley, Macca and Chris Hargreaves which were all a great read

Don't rush. It will be a pound soon at a charity shop near you.



Thank you Mr Corbyn (Steptoe), you are the best thing that has happened to the Conservatives for ages.

No problem moosey. All the proceeds are going into the account of their cat Jim.

Apparently not even he is stupid enough to put it in Rosie the dogs name again 😊

Just read it myself. Not fantastic but an insight into Steve Evans' management style is interesting even if it leaves you thinking how on Earth he and Raynor have been successful.

Another good book is  "The Snake in the Bunker"-can't remember who wrote it but supposed to be the "Book of the Year"-£19-99 at all good book shops. All proceeds go to the FC/G charity.

The smell of football by ex player and physio Mick Rathbone is a great read, some really interesting moments about his involvement with Halfax in troubled times.

Many years ago I read a book written by an ex Lincoln City player,

Sorry I can not remember his name or who the manager was at the time,

BUT

I do remember this    " he said the manager was really strict and the players had to obey his every instruction, one game they were playing away at a top team and he instructed them to keep it tight and play the safe ball all the time, after about 80 mins if it still was 0-0 then and only then should they go forward and try and score the winner,
Well as it happened after about 2 minutes the said player got the ball just inside his own half, he moved forward and the opponents just kept backing off, I nearly got to the penalty area without anybody making a challenge and with no one supporting me I thought I would have a shot,
Yes you guessed it I scored !!!!!!!!!
The boss went mad at me and at half time he shouted at me in full voice, why don't you ever do what I tell you and he then subbed me."
