| Bob 70-71 | Summer 2004Just
recently I have been very lucky to hear about some
excellent books that are available in the universal
language of football. These include football history and
football-based novels. Here is the information as it has
been passed on to me...
Tommy Johnston was recently voted Leyton Orient’s greatest ever player by fans of the club in a poll to mark the Millennium, gaining 20 percent of all votes cast. Born in Loanhead, Tommy holds the club record for the most goals scored in a single season, and the most goals scored on aggregate throughout his career. During his long career, Tommy played in every class of football, from juvenile football in Scotland with Loanhead Mayflower and Peebles Rovers, to professional with one Scottish League club (Kilmarnock), one Welsh club (Newport County) and seven English clubs: Darlington, Oldham Athletic, Norwich City, Leyton Orient (twice), Blackburn Rovers and Gillingham. The author, Neil, is a regular contributor to the site and he writes that Tommy has not been well and is need of open heart surgery, should any of your readers remember him you can send best wishes to him at : Tommy Johnston See Breedon Books – Tommy

In November this year,
the above title will be coming out, published by
Mainstream Books. It details the history of what the
players from the early 60's til now were/are wearing off
the pitch, right up to the present day. We also take in
the fashions of the terraces from over the years and also
talk to the various fashion outlets past and present. Regards A Journey from the Kop to the CavernBy Stephen KellyNormal price: £7.99
Mr
Shankly's Photograph Summary‘Dear Mr Shankly, I
don’t suppose you will remember me but my uncle
Horace used to live next door to you in Huddersfield when
you were the manager there… I wanted to welcome you
to Liverpool. I hope you will be very successful…’
A holiday photograph of a 10-year-old lad leaning over
the garden fence with Huddersfield Town Manager Bill
Shankly is the starting point for an enduring bond. That
photograph condemns Stephen Kelly to a lifelong passion
for Liverpool Football Club, while Shankly’s
homespun philosophy opens up new perspectives for him.
Few people in any walk of life – and none in
football – have stamped their personality and
individuality on a city and its folk as Bill Shankly did
on Liverpool. Shankly, the Kop and the Cavern. Was there
ever a more thrilling place for any young person than
Liverpool in the Sixties? You never know how good it is
until it’s gone. See Chrysalis Books - Mr Shankly's

Normal price: £7.99 SummaryOne day, Ralph Goldstein
switches on the television to hear Ruud Gullit, former
Dutch International and Chelsea player-manager
extraordinaire coining the famous phrase 'Sexy Football'
and realises how these two simple words sum up everything
he believes in. Ralph had long felt that football could
be a beautiful, fulfilling, artistic expression of love
if we went about it in a positive manner. And by the way,
if it was possible to play football in such a fashion,
why not live like that too? About the AuthorPETER GILMOUR worked as
a journalist before becoming a political writer and
activist specialising in Middle East affairs and with the
Anti-apartheid movement. See Chrysalis Books - Mr Shankly's
