Derby got a fair number of events in those days.

Not half, saw The Damned at the Assembly Rooms when they made the front page of the Telegraph for smashing up the changing room. We had the lot, nearly every week. The Ajanta on Sacheverel Street was my favourite haunt.

And if anyone still has,a hankering for that stuff I strongly recommend the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool. Headliners this year are The Strnaglers, Damned and The Skids, plus much, much, much more. Really good weekend - gloriously scheduled on August 1,2,3,4...

I’ve got that on the next shelf down but haven’t got round to reading it yet !

I got the john Lydon one signed, he said to me “ you are a big **** aren’t you ! (I’m am 6’4”) it was an obvious statement but it made me feel quite happy !?

That is just rotten 

 

 

 

 

I thank you!!!

8% in to Totally Frank so far which obviously isn’t Derby related (2010) but as he’s our manager we can squeeze this one in, been interesting so far. 

Remember the Max Bird interview where he spoke about doing more work with Frank after training? This is something he has done himself since he was a kid, if you already love Frank I wouldn’t read it as you would only fall for him more.

Went to a posh paid school in Brentwood, long socks, shorts and cap you know the sort, even went to school on Saturday. Had the choice between taking an apprenticeship at West Ham or captain of the School team and carrying on further education, seriously considered staying on at school but his Dad wanted him to go to West Ham. 

Doesn't regret it, having watched mates go to Uni and seeing the lifestyle, not a fan of it now unless it’s for Science or technology education, in fact says he wouldn’t want to send his daughters to Uni.

Loves his politics as well apparently, up until 5am debating with mates Tony Blair and the Iraq war, so far he hasn’t revealed which side he’s on, probably wise not to.

Oh, if we lose in the Play Offs don’t text him after if you was going to, not into sympathy, sounds like he loves a good old cry by himself in a locked room. Talks fondly of his mum knowing how to handle him, sadly not here today.

The other 92% could be rubbish, but so far it’s been an enjoyable read. Doesn’t come across as one of those like Beckham which you can sense was not written by him. 

The media talk about how intelligent he is, really comes across as that. Last bit, he also feels the FA should do more to encourage better education for young footballers to give themselves something to fall back on.

It might be easier if you tell us what you are looking for? We've quite a few books but they might not be very rare ones.
