Tommy_Fent Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Off the top of my head I know the following have released one Joe Royle Mick Quinn Graeme Sharp Neil Redfern I've got Royles and Sharps at home, my bro has read Mick Quinns. Shouldn't we sell them in the clubs shop? It would make a better read than yet another A-Z of Latics players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think Neil Warnock may have one out too. Yup, he released it after he left Sheff United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste1987 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think Neil Warnock may have one out too. Yep. From flickng through in WH smith though, I dont think we get much of a mention though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would hate to see Sharp's book in the club shop. I doubt that or Warnocks would go on sale, but it's interesting to see his point of view. I still think he was a rubbish manager mind, and he makes up a lot of excuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMAX Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Harry Redknapps Autobiography gives Alan Groves a good mention including- No, no, I’ve been to Chesterfield a few times. I remember we played them away when I was at Bournemouth when John Bond was the manager, and we had an outside left called Alan Groves. He was the strongest, quickest, most skilful player I’ve ever seen. He was something else, this fella, and it was frightening how much talent he had. But he was a bit of a character and I remember we went to Chesterfield one day and we got off the coach and this bird came up to him and said: ‘Here y’are, you bloody ’ave him,’ and handed him this baby. He was married, but it was a bird he was seeing apparently, and she left him holding the baby and just buggered off. So he’s stood there, holding the baby outside, while Bond’s giving the team talk. Groves had to give it to some fans to look after while he played, and he took it back on the team coach after the game and his brother and sister looked after him in Portland Bill. I’ll never forget it. What a player he was.” Alan Groves. On my life, Nick, he was incredible. He could have played for England. You’ve never seen nothing like him. You used to kiss him and you’d bounce off him, he was that big, but he was quicker and more skilful than anyone I’ve ever seen. He died at 27, I think, of a heart attack. A tragedy. I always think of him when I think of Chesterfield.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometownclub Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 On a totally unrelated topic, I've read Joe Royle's Autobiography and thought it was a cracking read (especially for Latics fans) and would highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 So by stayin at Pompey he should zero loyalty? absolutely none? Once you've already proven to been disloyal in the past, having a show of loyalty later, when he really should have done that when the Saints came a calling, is pure folly. But, in your world Lags, yeah. Proper loyal is 'Arry. Proper loyal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) look, I said harry showed loyalty by not going to Newcastle, nothing to do with how loyal a person all his life the bloke had been, and you know it. So type about what I actually said or do I get defensive sayin it like that? Edited February 21, 2008 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So type about what I actually said or do I get defensive sayin it like that? So, you'd kind of agree with my thoughts in that Harry Redknapp showed a bit of loyalty this time (albeit with an extra salary bump by Pompey) but he's still a tosser for screwing them over for their worst rivals in the world a coupla years previously? The biggest gripe we all had was you saying Kilkenny should have taken a leaf out of his book. You know, the "Flash Harry Bible of Loyalty and Faithfulness; Vol. 1". A carefuly selected leaf, I hasten to add. He said nice things about Alan Groves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
