    Does he go on at length about how they refused to spend all that money that was available?

    Yes, he details how he and Andy Ritchie flatly refused to spend money.

    I'd advise any BFC fan to buy it and get a view on why we are were we are.

    Ordered the Holden book, and read the JD one. You're in for a nostalgic treat Jay, filled with enlightenment. Maybe.

    It's only a book written by a bloke who with his mate Ritchie got the well deserved heave ho from the Club.

    I'd save your money. I bet there no mention about the Brooklands Farting contest.

    Why are you so fecking obsessed with Farting !!! Every time Holden is mentioned, you bring up farting !!!
    I think everyone gets the message that you disliked Ritchie and Holden because they once had a farting competition. You used to say it was because they played head tennis, but now it comes to light that it was because you didnt win a farting contest !!!

    Cheers Mark, that response has made me laugh out loud. I've had to pause the TV to stop laughing for a second. I've not even heard about this farting contest!

    I know they didn't have enough coaching badges for you, but have a read, you might learn something.
