Yes. That's my website. I'm the one of who has reviewed it! Yes, it's a decent read, although I'm not enamoured of novels built around football facts and stats. |

Imagine the misery we’d have been spared if the ending had been different! 😉

Wouldn't mind but he ran lots of stuff past me initially, but still it wound up peppered with inaccuracies. |

I do get your point, just found your mix-up between hearing and sight quite funny! Its a bit like shouting so blind people can hear you 🤔😃 |

Fully blind. Eh? How's that? My hat would fall over my eyes. |

Just finished reading it, good read with many facts about the sell out to Leeds. I didn't know Herbert Chapman was manager at Leeds City before the first world war
or that he was banned by the Football League for Life after the war.

or that he was banned by the Football League for Life after the war.I thought that was one of the most well-known facts about HC. Dodgy as fook, but he was at L***s' forebears, so maybe it came with the territory. He was (allegedly) partly the reason they were chucked out and disbanded. Then rocked up at Town to do the unthinkable |
