I know exactly your plan. I've written FOURTEEN perfect books, and yet STILL people criticise. What can you do....??

The very best of luck with this mate. Writing a book is a tough and mental process, and once it's out there you are open to all kinds of criticisms, BUT don't forget that YOU did this and you should be really proud. Just make sure you don't knock 'Flat Caps and Tangerine Scarves' off the shelves...

Good luck mate. Very proud of you. I'm an old hand at this book thing now, but I still get a thrill on release date. Enjoy every second, drink champagne, and DON'T get upset over bad reviews. They are mostly from people who wouldn't be able to do what you have just done.

I can't give away details as it's confidential due to the publishers. As far as I'm concerned, this is the most important book I have ever written, because I knew Jimmy well. I know he will be watching, so hopefully it will be entertaining, enlightening and accurate.

A good question, and this is the answer. The family agree that so much happened after his autobiography, so they want it to be brought up to date by someone who knew him, and who cared. Some of the royalties are going to Jimmy's charity too. I hope that answers.

Blackpool fan since 1967. I worked with Jimmy for years at the BBC. I don't live in Blackpool. Sorry

I'm pretty happy to say that I have been given the commission to write Jimmy's official biography, backed completely by the Armfield family It is due for release in early 2023 hopefully. Of course, I need your help, and why else would I post? For those who read 'Flat Caps and Tangerine Scarves'...

Rarely post, but i loved this thread. I thought I would jump in and maybe correct a few mistakes (imo). The largest away following was definitely Man Utd in 74. There was about 15,000 of them and all housed in the Kop (although a few elsewhere). Villa also brought about 15,000 for their...

Gr Great idea!

Thank you

Thank you, and nice title!

This book has a 100% 5 out of 5 rating on Amazon, so if you haven't bought it, or you know someone who has been ignoring my pleas or living in a cave, then what are you waiting for? I need a new boat... Shameless I know...

Today i truly fell back in love with my club again

Thank you so much.

Some people will accuse me of only coming on this site to promote my book, and to be fair, that's true. It is a Blackpool FC book, so if you haven't ordered then read this review and hopefully jump straight in...

Thank you. More than happy to sign them

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I really do appreciate it

Let me know...I couldn't get to the end!

A big thank you to all those who have sent me reviews of the book (mostly good, but occasionally bad...), but please keep them coming as the publishers are very interested for obvious reasons. Thanks again.

Excellent. I hope you enjoy both!!
