My godson's accepted my subtle[?!] hint some months ago about Matt Jansen's memoir for Christmas.

He'll be getting chapter and verse on this for my birthday next March!

Hi pal, I ordered mine direct from your website when news was announced. Is it in order to bring it to the evening to get the players autographs on it?

I understand the club has bought some copies but John wasn’t sure as to whether these were for resale or gifting...

Just bought, a nice Christmas present for the old man.

There are signed copies by the players who attended the evening on the publishers website 

[4,000 Holes]

If you need any more convincing to purchase this excellent book, then there are some great extracts included in Issue 99 of 4,000 Holes as tasters. It's the perfect Christmas combo for your coffee table!?

There's a few chapters free on Google. I'm probably not buying it because I don't know what type of stuff it will say (or for that matter anything I don't know already) but there was one comment (from a United supporting journalist) that sums up their ignorance. They go on about Shearer only joining for the money as if Dalglish (who had won titles unlike Ferguson then) was an irrelevance. Apparently Dalglish only joined for the money too and didn't have any intention or expectation of winning the League here. Yeah an absolute winner like Dalglish would have joined in such circumstances. ?
