Bobby Robson – The Ultimate Patriot Bob Harris deCoubertin Books 2020 Hardback 354pp, £20 Books about Robson aren’t uncommon. There have been at least five previous biographies as well as two autobiographies and a “World Cup Diary”. Bob Harris, the author of this one, has been involved in a minimum of three of them. So the challenges for the publication of yet another have to be whether there is much more to say about Bobby, who passed away in 2009, or whether there is a new way of telling the story of one of the most respected men in European football.

The A-Z of Weird & Wonderful Football Shirts Richard Johnson Conker Editions, 2020 Paperback, 206pp, £15 Those of us who primarily collect programmes or other printed memorabilia are often challenged by issues of storage. The boxes and shelves that accumulate in lofts, bedrooms and studies can take over the very space that we seek to live or work in. That’s before the issues of complaints from partners. Admiration then for those who pursue the collectables that are football shirts. Wardrobes full, suitcases bursting, and with an ever-increasing frequency in the

Individual shares used to be held by local people/supporters. Could be a way to get people to feel they had a locus in the club without massively diluting any owner’s control. Would have to be an amount that made a difference I think - at least £100 each. And £500 would be even better.

Nothing “pissy”. As currently folk are already boycotting I just wondered whether you were one of them . .

I understand your ire but what do you mean? Presumably you haven’t nor were about to buy a ST . Who or what are you no longer a supporter of?
