seems to have upset some of the major faces from time gone by and rumour has it they are getting together to put pen to paper and put together a real account of life as it was

I bet they're sharpening their crayons as we speak.

I read the Cass Pennant book a bit back

 

I could have spent the time reading the Beano. The content would have been better.

well feel free to tell them that to their face

seems to have upset some of the major faces from time gone by and rumour has it they are getting together to put pen to paper and put together a real account of life as it was

 

Im familiar with a few of the major faces from yesteryear but I cannot recall ever seeing the bloke who wrote this book.

 

I take it he stood at the back when things got heavy?

 

ps not read the book yet but been told its embarrassing.

Embarrassing is not the word.

 

West Houghton is Westhoughton. Not hard is it.

 

Cuckoo's got there name in 78 aint got a fucking clue.

 

In one "tale" he goes from the 80 to the 90 and back in a sentence.

 

Glad I was lent it than buy it, read it in a night.

 

All the lads who have lent it say the same too,

 

I can't remember last week but I remember everything from 1980 to 1989.

ps any ideas what the writer would expect to earn from it?

Fuck all, he's gave most of them away.

I never realised that farnworth ran bolton

To be fair, 1990 onwards I wasn't there but know the score so the EDL & the 00's etc I cant comment on. The 1980's just weren't right IMO.

 

Love to a book just on the 80's.

this proper one will be 70's/80's

The front cover was enough for me. Embarrassing is a massive understatement

I can confirm that at least half of them have never been involved in any FV of some sort

I can also confirm that they shop at JD and Scotts

they should of got you and your lot on it, think you may of done more

I know loads on that cover, and I know Dougie reasonably well, decent to talk too, always had time for this "bin dipper".

 

I wont read it, as I dont want it to change my opinion of him, and some in it, that I know well.

 

That front cover really does make me wonder, how the fook any of them and Bolton fans can call scouser's, for what they wear.

Ive not seen him for about 15 yrs now but yes, he definately was not wired up right!

 

Im not on first name terms with him but we always had a quick chat when we saw each other.

 

Has he told you of the incident involving a shopwindow!?

 

My memorys going a little but Im sure it was him.

when is miamis book out?

What is the fascination with wanting the world (as if!) to know you aren't wired up right?

got it for Christmas ....absolute shite ...

 

most of it is fiction and i don't remember him being around from the late 80s through to the move to the reebok ...

 

first time i ever met the author was when chelsea won the league here...i had a chelsea fella with me in the north stand...duggie came over...the chelsea fella just told him to fuck off papa smurf ! :-)....

 

the blackburn 96 trip which was the first time in years we played them...was nothing like described by Phil....and i actually got nicked with him...so why the yarn i don't know?

 

and he obviously wasn't there against stoke...which was the the naughtiest id ever witnessed at burden...

 

the fa cup battle of turf moor...he says was a Tuesday ...fucks sake!

 

churchill your uncle was a loon ...

 

ill happily do a few chapters j :-)

Thing is my Dad used to just say he was a balloon, which to some extent he is, however having spoken to a few of the older notrights he was quite well thought of!So in summary makes him a balloon!
