I was there at Bolton when I realised the flying Dutchmen were a priceless investment.Brazil and Warkie were also quite good. Worthingtons goal was worth the journey in an Abbot Ale transit farting for pleasure...I'm sure my DM's turned green.

Loved singing 'Cheerio Cheerio Cheerio' to the Bolton fans as they departed early! My girlfriend nearly had her clogs confiscated as a dangerous weapon...

Yes
It is indeed a great trip down memory lane to our greatest ever team. If you weren't there at the time, it's hard to understand just how bloody good we were and what a difference those 2 made.
However, Mel Henderson is no editor I'm afraid. Whilst it isn't Google Translate it is often clumsy and awkward. I'm sure it's a good technical translation but that's only half the job. It needs a radical edit to turn it into English English and not Dutch English. It doesn't read like our football was back then; fast, flowing and fluent.
It also has numerous punctuation errors. I'd be happy to re-edit it if anyone was interested.

I thought it just read like long-from journalism and enjoyed it on that basis. I've read some truly clunky stuff by Henderson - the over-use of 'yours truly' really grates - and this wasn't that bad.

Simple typo, 'long-form journalism'. The book reads more like contemporaneous news reporting than anything else.

In the case of this book I think that that is a good thing.
For those of us that were there it puts us back there again.
I enjoyed reading it.

Indeed, and it's an enjoyable read even for those of us too young to have seen it - I do remember the open-top bus parade after the UEFA Cup win though.

I was discussing the chapter on "Mr John" yesterday with my Dad who was in full flow about what a character he was. And, inevitably, my Dad managed to move the conversation on to Ted Phillips, his hero. He reckons Mariner and Phillips up front would have been unstoppable.

Is the "Mr John" book by Mel Henderson still available, Phil? Would love to get a copy for my Dad who (understandably) finds the current football depressing.

If you can't get it - for a reasonable price - you can borrow mine as long as you send it back.

No longer on Amazon so I think you'll have to look for a secondhand copy, I'm afraid.

Very difficult to find, 2nd hand on Amazon is £40+ P&P and there don't seem to be many anywhere else. I regularly check most online booksellers.

I managed to get mine cheap but I want to keep it. I would take Lucan up on the 'loan' as it would be the cheapest way of getting hold of one right now!

Planet Blue should try to keep plenty of all of the Town books in stock. There aren't that many of them and there must be decent ongoing demand.

Another place worth checking is the fella who runs the programme stall in Portman Road, opposite the entrance to the Sir Alf stand. He's there pretty much every match and has lots of stuff - might have a few books or may be able to source one.
