Tony Book R I P on 15:25 - Jan 14 with 369 views | Radlett_blue | Book had a remarkable career, with Malcolm Allison signing him at Plymouth from Bath City when Book was already 30. He advised Book to doctor his birth certificate, thinking that Plymouth wouldn't take on a 30 year old non League player. Allison also persuaded Joe Mercer to sign 32 year old Book for Man City & he captained them to the League title, FA Cup, League Cup & Cup Winners Cup. He was a regular at City until he was nearly 40. |  |
