Ordered 2 copies. Awaiting delivery!

What is the book about ? I’d probably be interested in adding a book to my small Rovers library. Something for my wife to buy me at Christmas.

The Rovers and burnley rivalry TS.

I’d be interested in buying a copy. Can you buy copies on line ?

I know Mike (although I didn't associate him with this book until I saw his face) through his involvement in local schools football. I used to referee a lot of schoolboy games and Mike was a terrific administrator and organiser. He forged a really strong link with Blackburn Referees Association and from memory they never played a game without an affiliated referee.

I am going to buy this as it appears that it will be a good read.

Mike is a really good guy, our kid speaks very highly of him Tony. 
Looking forward to reading this.

I used to find Andy that good administrators/secretaries were invariably the glue that holds everything together at schoolboy and parks level. Mike was thorough and meticulous in all my dealing with him. Hopefully the book does really well for him.

Didn't Mike also write a book on the history of BwD schoolboys?

Grogan was my PE teacher - a lovely man.

Got this WhatsApp the other day but no book yet 🤢

Superbly researched.

Make no mistake,the 'bragging rights' section (based upon pure facts not fiction our Burnley friends!) leaves the reader in no doubt as to the famous blue n whites being East Lancs top side/Club.

A fact is that Burnley have beaten Rovers more times than Rovers have beaten Burnley. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

No,you are definitely wrong 'Mr Reality Check'

In ALL games played between Blackburn Rovers and Burnley including Cup ties and test matches we are surprisingly equal.

As for the rest....you don't come close!

A dose of reality indeed.😉

You signed up just to spout a factless fact?
