Just wanted to say, having read this book from cover to cover today, what an incredible, inspirational, funny, heart warming, sad, humbling, breath taking read it is. Beautifully put together by Quinny, the articles by Morecambe legends like Coley, Ian Cain, Jim Bentley and Keith Galley give a wonderful insight into what the experience of playing for the Shrimps is. Memories from the likes of Tom Sawyer, Les Dewhirst, Dickie Danson and Rod Taylor ( the heartbeat of the club), who have given so much to the club over the years show just how much a part of the fabric of the club both directors and volunteers are. The really touching part, from my point of view, was reading the stories from the fans who have followed the club the length and breadth of the country, in good times and bad (and in recent times mainly good) and have come together to form the Morecambe family. There's not too many other places where a solicitor, bin man, web designer, engineer, postman, nurse, antiques dealer and caravan salesman can be stood along from eachother all singing the same songs, supporting the same cause. That's the real miracle of football, and it's captured in Quinny's book. If you are a football fan of any club, or a shrimps fan, or you just like a book that reflects real humanity, then this book is a must. Buy it and read it and feel better having done so.
hope you don't mind me going on about it, but it is very very good.
