One Team. One Dream. Won Friday Night

Started a new website with details on the new book. I'll be launching it between June 1-30 in as many places as possible.
Confirmed dates are in the blog section of www.briankennedywriter.com
It will be on sale via there for a while and then from the FAI website and Amazon.co.uk
Almost 300 pages , it retails in shops (hopefully club shops) for €12.99 (€17.50 on my site including P&P)
If you are attending one of the launches it'll be only €10.

At the moment its Limited Edition... There's also a pre-order section in the website as well

Few dates left and trying to include First Division clubs as well.

Kind Regards
Brian

I think the print run of that would be rather small! Too small to have potential sales sitting on the FAI website.

No, it's a look at the experience of playing in Europe from an LoI point of view (writerbk has probably forgotten this from our chat a few months ago! :) )

Currently doing the usual hopeful round of publishers, before the ambivalence of self-publishing which, if it comes to it, should happen maybe September time.

But in the meantime, any sniff of a potential sales outlet is interesting!

There was an excellent book out maybe 5 years ago that touched on this also, but it was only about 10 stories featuring classic LOI games in europe, Gods v Goliaths.

Yeah, have that. Good book alright. Mine is different though; focuses on one campaign instead, so I can go into more detail on how everything comes together

Gods vs Mortals, by Paul Keane. Very good book, the chapter on Athlone/Milan especially.

Good stuff, sounds interesting and best of luck with it, it sounds a good angle to have on this topic.

Dundalk were featured in that book on their 1979 European Cup season, played in 3 rounds, the infamous Linfield game being the first. Interesting to note, Liam Devine (RIP) who equalised for Dundalk in the ‘battle of oriel park’ v Linfield is Gary Rogers uncle, who would go on to play a huge part in the next best European achievement by Dundalk in 2016.
