The Dyed In The Wool book by Robin Browett is good if any Hoops fans are reading this. Robin passed away in January 2003 so it is also a memorial to one of Nature's gentlemen. Robin would have been well known the length and breadth of the country as he frequently visited away grounds following his beloved Shamrock Rovers.

Absolutely brilliant, laughed the entire way through it, all the stories are specific to Kilkenny City, but if you've ever been involved in Football at any level you will recognise the different characters from each story.
Has anybody read Baghdad FC yet? There's also a book out now about a season with East Stirling - the worst team in Scotland - called Pointless. Supposed to be fairly good.
I got Baghdad FC as a present last week, quite good
although they seem to have better referee's

Do you know if Patsy's book is available new anywhere?
Cheers,
Terry
Monzo if you speak to Patsy himself at the last home game im sure he will quite happily help out
StrabaneHarps, might leave it next year - don't have much time on my hands anyway - would Patsy have some copies?
Monzo, come to me at the game on Friday and I'll see if I can get you one.

harpskid - cheers for the offer - but not much point in me getting it - not much time on my hands with exams and stuff- First game of next season I'll get it, if that suits ye, or maybe a friendly or whatever - ill remind you. Fair play anyway. Is the book top-notch as McGowans articles in the DD?
Apologies for the lateness of reply
