For The Boys In The Royal Blue Jersey

[kev]

Just finished these 2 books. Brilliant read. Great insight into the players. Interesting one on Joe Harper. I always thought he was terrible and looked out of shape. Bought by Harry to form a duo up front with Big Joe Royle. Harry got replaced a few weeks later and Joe Royle got a long term injury. That left Harper on his own up front. He hated Billy Bingham said the players used to call him Billy Liar after the TV series on at the time.
As I said gives a great insight into players and staff at goodison.
Brilliant reading for any blues fans.

Echoing what @firefighterblue said. I've also just finished reading both books.
Fantastic stuff and full of snippets of info about relationships and events behind the scenes. You get a fascinating glimpse of insight into the personalities of former players and staff. A great read and also a handy little reference source.

If you haven't yet read them do yourself a favour and order them today.

I was keeping mine back to read when I go to the canaries in January for reading around the pool on the sunbed. Unfortunately picked volume 1 up just for a scan through. A week later I had read both books. Volume 3 will have to do for Spain.

It was a privilege to speak with Sylvain Distin who gave me an interview for one of my future volumes of for the boys in the royal blue jersey.
