    yeah I believe so. they did something like that with history of the showgrounds. btw if I want to buy that Neal Horgan book how do I go about it as loved the 1st book?

    It's not out until Saturday, but you'll be able to get it at http://sportsproview.com/product/second-city/, I'd imagine the club shop will be selling it too.

    Yes, it is limited. The only way to get the limited edition is to put your name forward. Less than a couple of hundred of the limited editions. So pretty limited alright. For the limited edition you get: a hardback copy, your name printed in it and a couple or other additions (I think they will all be numbered, so its a limited edition set in effect).

    Years of hard work gone into this. It will be a real encyclopaedia of all things Sligo Rovers.

    "One Team, One Dream, Won Friday Night" will be released in March/April. It's 35 stories of 35 fans of 35 LOI clubs, past & present. This way you get the stories of lifelong fans of the club they love. All current LOI clubs have at least one item and there are also stories from clubs no longer in the league like Monaghan United, Kildare County,Newcastlewest etc. I'll be launching it in various clubs/venues around Ireland

    I was just made aware of a Bohs one from 2010, a 40 page booklet called The Enduring Legacy of an Idle Youth by Ciaran Priestley, so I'm hoping to find a copy of that.

    Thanks Hitman, forgot Neal's second book on my list but I actually hadn't heard of the Cork Hibs one. Buying that now.

    Paddy Smithers' book is primarily a LOI results book, he told me he only printed 60 copies though.
