New Book by Chris Hargreaves

Post by goodluckgull »

Chris Hargreaves latest book is called "Where's Your Caravan? My life on football's B-roads". I brought it last week and went straight to the chapters on Torquay United. It was an emotional read, even though I knew the outcome and what Hargreaves has written overlaps with his "Captains Log". I got the impression that he and Paul Buckle became good friends and have a mutual respect. However when it comes to Colin Lee...... well I'll let you make up your own mind.I am enjoying reading the rest and would definately recommend the book to anyone interested in football and especially to any young hopefuls wanting a career in football as a guide on what not to do!

Sounds like a good read GLG. I'll get a copy as soon as i've finished Jeff Stelling's Jelleymans' thrown a wobbly which i'm reading at the moment. Cheers.

Judging from the heavily sculpted body, chiselled jaw and devilish good looks, there really can be only one candidate.

When Mr Spielberg calls, put him straight through to me.

Thanks for the heads-up. I knew he was writing it last year, but had no idea it was out.

I've ordered four. Presents for my mum, dad and brother sorted.
