He is in there as both and gawd knows how I missed it :( They'll be a second print soon with it corrected.

But have to say that having started this it is a real memory jerker. I almost miss those times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all of our league games between the turn of 1975 and the end of that season... Now THAT'S how you do 'misery'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the Oxford game (Wargaming championship) and consequently our only goal at home in the 2nd half of the season! Gutted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I hope everyone who has a copy is enjoying it! I've had some great feedback so far which again has left me slightly humbled. If anyone else wants one before they go on Amazon etc, I have a handful of copies left at: https://ourlowestebb.bigcartel.com/product/our-lowest-ebb-a-new-history-of-sheffield-wednesday-s-darkest-times-1973-76 which I'll happily sign/dedicate and send out straight away. Cheers and UTO, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
