Bought Redders book to read on hols

flicking through sent shivers up my spine & a tear or two to my eyes

 

you will not be disappointed, its a really good read.

 

I will second that. A fantastic read. The feeling he has for the club really comes through.

 

to be honest, the book spoiled my illusion of him

</p>

all way through the book it was quite obvious that 4-4-2 didn't suit him and the only time he had any real success was when he played in the 3-5-2 set up at barnsley and he got more of a free role. He had loads of clubs before and after us and as soon as his latest manager sussed him out, he jumped ship. A typical proffesional (&quot;i'm in it for myself&quot footballer</p>

 

RE: to be honest, the book spoiled my illusion of him

I have to agree with being a little disappointed too after reading this book. I don't think its particularly well written and if anything Redfearn seems to be a cliche of both a footballer and a Yorkshireman. His love for the Reds however is unquestionable and I would love to see him back at the club in some sort of capacity....................It's not mentioned in the book but I bet when he started out in the game in the early 80s his favourite meal was 'steak and chips', favourite singer 'Phil Collins'..............and no doubt he wanted to 'run a pub' when he finally hung up his boots.

 

Interesting where he attributes the rise to Premiership

down to Winstanleyrather than Wilson.

 

having read first few chapters he spells out

the lack of loyalty in the game early on. That he learnt his lesson that in football no one is loyal other than to themselves. fair play short career that could be destroyed any moment

 

i thought it was an awful book

badly written with no substance

 

Yeah - very much so. But I don't buy that 100%

Of course I believe that Winny had a hand in it - but he had been the coach under other bosses and we weren't like the Wilson days then, and, of course, Winny had many spells as caretaker boss but that same magic wasn't there. Wilson deserves a lion's share of the credit.

 

RE: i thought it was an awful book

wooooaaa !...hang on there "no substance"..Ali liked it

 

it was average, i read the whole book but the only intersting bit was with bfc obviusly.. i mean a lovely person gi a **** about his forest, oldham, charlton days etc etc

 

AGREE WITH WELLSIE

 

Erm - pleased you can see into the future & know I'll like it

having only read a couple a chapters personally I find it too soon to tell

I bow to your greater knowledge (blagger) (blagger) (zzz) (zzz)
