That one is on my "to do" list.
Just started to read the Georgie Best "Bad Tackles & Dirty Baths" book and thus far its a real education on the football of the period rather than a recollection of Bestie binges & orgies as I had been expecting. I'm sure there will be plenty of that to come though.
A few good books will help to bridge the gap between now and the 08/09 season KO.

You'd probably like Scum Airways by John Sugden then. Its got a bit of everything in that one.

I've read most of it so far.
Never been much of a reader but because the book is about Town I bought it. the main stuff what they got up to in them days was before my time as i'm only 17 but its been an amazing book and to hear about what they used to do as well it brilliant.

'Tel Boy's' book is fooking rubbish and looks like it's been written by a 6 year old.

I wasn't impressed by it at all, too many tales of scrapping with Almondbury lads in Huddersfield nightclubs for my liking. Best one's I have read were Soul Crew & BBC.

Blades Business Crew is a good book, I've read it about 4 times I think. The good thing is that it's not a hooligan trying to show how hard he is/was, just a normal bloke reflecting on what he got up to and why

Blades Business Crew and Soul Crew are both top reads.

I was a bit disappointed that 'Come On Then' doesn't talk about the politics of the time and is just about some guys who like fighting all the time for not much reason! I'm only half way through but every chapter has been the same so far.

If you want a decent read try "Steaming In" by Colin Ward.
Long before all these hoolie books came out this bloke wrote a very good book detailing his travels with England and Arsenal he readily admits he's no hoolie but at times he had to stand up and fight or get splattered, it not full of "we ran them,they ran us shite, he gives a fascinating insight into the mindset of hardcore,wannabee and mad as a hatter fans, even gets to mention a couple of Townfans boozing in a (cough) seedy bar abroad
UTT

There is a picture of two men near the back of the book saying they were the only two gays in the village, one has long hair. Do they still go?

best book is the everton one Scally by Andy Nicholls? Very good read. He even talks about getting 'run' at QPR not the usual, "10 of us took Millwall....We're dead 'ard....Pwoppa nawtee...." shite. |

Great Times. |
