For anyone like me and mad about Dutch football I recommend 'Alax The Dutch the War' by Simon Kuper and 'Brilliant Orange The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football' by David Winner (good mention for Ajax's greatest coach Jack Reynolds a former Mariner)

Probably writing a book about it by now 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

At least the Booker prize is cash not a hideous lump of plastic

Quoted from KingstonMariner


Assuming you mean the FC, not the city:

Barca by Jimmy Burns is worth a read.

Seem to remember reading Ajax, Barcelona, Cruyff but can't remember much about it.


The Man who saved Barcelona - The Remarkable Life of Patrick O'Connell, written by Sue O'Connell £14.99.

It's an absolute belter of a book and tells of how Irishman O'Connell went to play for Barca after a career in N. Ireland and England

The stories surrounding Barca and the Civil war and O'Connell's desire to keep them going at all cost have to be read to be believed.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
