As the holiday season is in full swing I thought I would draw Stoke fans attention to this new book. linkBrian has been a long term Stoke fan for over 40 years and is a good friend. His book is very well written and full of facts about stoke past and present and chronicles his journey as a Stoke fan from beginning to present day. I have just got through the first 6 chapters and found it a real page turner. Any Stoke fan will find it interesting and I would even say it would appeal to any fan of a football club big or small. Great read and full of entertainment well done Bri  |

Just copied the write up off Amazon:-
When Brian’s ex-wife warned him not to come back from the Play Off final in Cardiff saying it was the best day of his life; he didn’t. But it almost was.
As a self confessed glory hunter and lifetime fan of Stoke City, Brian has combined this passion with a career in banking.
From Hartlepool to Exeter he has made every trip and through grief, despair and heartache, Stoke City have occupied the Premier League for a decade.
It wasn’t always like that as Brian’s story, spanning five decades, describes. Follow his emotional journey.

As the posts confirm, the book is now available in paperback from Lulu.com and on Amazon Kindle. It's also availavle direct from me and for Stoke Fans at £10 incl postage. I am raising funds for the Macari Centre and all profits (a minimum £1 per copy) will be donated to that charity. Lou Macari is supporting as the photo on back cover suggests. Hope you enjoy and I will have 100 copies signed by Lou (this Thursday) so if you're quick.... Attachment Deleted |

Any sales through Amazon, Kindle and Lulu will qualify for the donation I have promised to the Charity, so the Macari Centre can't lose either way. I was just trying to make it a bit cheaper for SCFC fans. I will also be taking a small batch of signed copies to Leipzig.

Thanks

I am sure that if a few people (who aren't at work or off on hols) looked in at around 11am, he (and I) would be quite happy to sign and personalise a few copies. |

Just ordered mine, and looking forward to the read on Holiday. I've had the pleasure of attending Stoke games back in the day with Brian. A great bloke, a genuine Stoke and England supporter. I recall a great evening in Nuremberg back in 2006.
