From WestBrom.com Sutton Coldfield SUTTON COLDFIELD BRANCH: Thursday November 16th: “WEST BROM’S CULT HEROES” book launch (author Simon Wright) The new Albion book
Within Cult Heroes are the lives and times of twenty men who, between them, left behind French classrooms, trenches, coal mines, leaking roofs, unpaid bus fares, full dustbins and Bobby Gould to play for the famous West Bromwich Albion. All will be eternally respected for doing so. Hundreds of hours work in dimly-lit libraries have turned up so many fascinating nuggets. For most of those men, I believe “Cult Heroes” offers the most comprehensive account ever written. Some of the tales and some of the pictures have never been previously published. Central to the evening are the players themselves. Already four of the featured players have agreed to come along – SuperBob, Bomber Brown, Derek “The Tank” Kevan and Ray Barlow - and I’m awaiting responses from several others such as Big Dave, Richard Sneekes, Cyrille Regis and Don Goodman. Doors open at 7.00pm with autograph and picture opportunities. Later, a Question and Answers session will follow (at approximately 8.00pm) with several of the guests. The writer of the book’s foreword Laraine Astle and the book’s author Simon wright will be there on the night. For anyone who hasn’t already purchased the book from the club shop, copies of the £16.99 tome can be picked up on the night direct from the publisher. No dress code, no admission fee, no card required. Just come along and enjoy yourself in the company of like-minded Baggie people. © Copyright WestBrom.com |
