It started as a normal day in the Scott household, just outside of Chicago. Mathew Scotts wife made breakfast, while his son sat nearby, waiting to be fed. Mathew hadnt slept well the night before. Hed wandered around the house a bit, which was when hed seen the shadow fall across the moon. Maybe it was a dream; that was what he told himself on his way to the office. That afternoon, Mathew was put in charge of a large amount of company money. He was supposed to deposit the money in the local bank, but he never did. That afternoon, he disappeared without a traceto be gone for a year before he returned. Upon his arrival back in Chicago, Mathew finds himself the target of an embezzlement lawsuit, but that isnt the worst of it. Mathew also comes to realize he has been abducted by aliens. How do you prove an alien abduction in a court of law? Is it possible, or will people write you off as a madman? Does Matthew have enough evidence to present to a jury in an attempt to convince them that his story is even plausible? He can only hope so. If not, he will face a guilty verdict and time in a federal prison.
Includes decisions in the Irish courts, 1876-June 1886, and Indian appeals, 1876-1877.
Professional football was officially suspended at the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939. With their contracts terminated, players were free to join the Armed Forces and, by April 1940, 514 were enlisted in the Army, 84 in the RAF and 31 in the Royal Navy. Many others were involved in war work; one factory in Oldbury boasted 18 West Bromwich Albion players. Of those who joined up 80 were to die. These included English International Tom Cooper who had played for Liverpool, Derby County and Port Vale, Alan Fowler of Swindon Town who died after D Day serving with the Dorsets, and Herbie Robert of Arsenal. Many were household names as Gareth Bale and Wayne Rooney are today. In this powerful and evocative memorial book the author traces the footballing and military careers of these talented men who sacrificed all for King and Country.
