Wee book starting to become a reality. Hopefully get one or two interested souls out there. Concentrating mainly on the final decade of the USSR through the prism of football.
Sad news about John Virgo. A beautiful cadence in his voice that was perfect for snooker commentary.
@outsidewrite.bsky.social Front cover for my forthcoming book. Hopefully released later on this year.
Iconic striker partnerships don't come much better than these 2.
@rickhough.bsky.social Book finished. Review posted. Like Tim Parks' book on Verona, I didn't want the season to end. Loved the weaving of detail throughout the general narrative of the season itself. Nuggets of gold like what the speciality dish of Ascoli is!!! That's what makes a great book!!
#FloodlightFriday at Portman Road. Ipswich Town. Late 80s perhaps with that Fisons sponsorship on the home shirt.
Inver Park. Home of the current (but soon to be deposed) champions of N.Ireland, Larne FC. #FloodlightFriday
