Re: Books
Dave Thomas, who is a regular on here has loads in his catalogue. They tend to be a lot more intimate as a Claret, though an author. Sure you can get a shout out to him via CTClaretFan1994 wrote:Can you recommend anymore

Re: Books
The three I looked at were
Who Says Football Doesn't Do Fairytales?: How Burnley Defied the Odds to Join the Elite”
“Burnley FC On This Day: History, Facts & Figures from Every Day of the Year”
“From Orient to the Emirates: The Plucky Rise of Burnley FC”
Buying the bottom but what about the other two?

Tommy Boyle was landlord of the Pedestrian Inn, which is situated where the Central Library is now.
Re: Books - Claret
Hi, just thought I'd update this thread and the topic title. Just finished reading 'Mud, Sweat & Shears' which is a great book in my opinion. Fascinating to read about Roy's stories and the challenges involved with being a groundsman in the 70s - late 80s. Now going to finish off the Bob Lord biography book which i am halfway through reading. Have got most of the other books on this thread and might look to revisit these, having read them months and years ago. Just wondered if anyone else has read any Clarets books over the last few weeks and if any stand out?

Re: Books
Try the Roger Eli Book... almost a text book on everything that can go wrong, except for one glorious season.
Re: Books
This is available to get from Lancashire library, just checked and there are copies at Burnley and Colne and is a good readClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 9:00 pmNot sure what you like to read but this is my favourite Burnley FC book

Re: Books
Evening Rodleydave, yes I have got the Roger Eli book you are referring to. Started reading it a while back but didn't complete it, enjoyed what I read, think I'm at least halfway with it. Just need to be more disciplined with finishing books! I'll retrace my steps and pick it up again. Thank you.
