50 Seasons a Stokie
Read the history of each of Stoke City's 50 seasons, from Stan Matthew's homecoming in 1961 to our two historic visits to Wembley in 2011. Read about how this middle-aged, balding and slightly-built bloke came back to his home town club and breathed new life into it. Things - everything - changed from that moment. It's all in here - the players, the managers, the owners, the fashions, the TV programmes and the films we were watching, the music we were listening to, the changes to the Potteries and the wider world. And pies, oatcakes and lobby.
For Pete's Sake
Football fans know them as Clough and Taylor; to Peter’s journalist daughter Wendy Dickinson they were simply ‘Dad and Brian’. Together they won countless honours, including league titles and two European Cups in consecutive years, a feat only matched by one other British manager and club - Bob Paisley and Liverpool. After almost 30 years of friendship and spectacular success they split up, were never reconciled and never spoke again before their untimely deaths. Thousands of headlines, dozens of books and a major feature film have charted the story of the most famous partner, Brian Clough, but little is known of his partner. For Pete’s Sake, the first of two books about Peter Taylor...

MEMORIES: A Collection of Stories of Family Life in the 30_s 40_s and 50_s
This is an attempt to bring to life some of the memories of joys, hardships, and lessons learned from life in the 1930s and 1940s in the great nation, the United States of America. With the Depression and World Wars I and II came a need for people to care for each other in order to survive and to save and rebuild families and communities. Our family had extremely limited resources but extremely unlimited desires for a dignified lifestyle in the midst of those hardships. Family and friends were one and the same when it came to caring for each other. How blessed we would all be if the lessons learned back then were applied to our day-by-day lives today. Today, many neighbors are strangers to each other, and there seems to be a general disregard for the needs of others. Consequently, the government has been able to move in quickly to fill the gap at the expense of the dignity of the people of our great nation. Freedom is not without struggle and strife for life, liberty, and dignity. Thank you.
City Till I Die
This book follows my journey from 1970-1980, growing up following my beloved Stoke City. During this decade in the history of our football club, we achieved highs and lows of unbelievable proportions. As every Stoke fan knows only too well, our club never does anything in half measures. If you wish to share in some of the triumphs and tragedies of Stoke City and its famous, and sometimes infamous supporters, during the 1970s, then this is the book for you. As always, with Stoke City, the journey is a tidal wave of emotions. That though, is part of the deal when following the famous red and white stripes. Those afore-mentioned supporters have often been labelled unique in their influence over the team.Whilst the behaviour of Stoke fans has been questioned many times, I believe their loyalty is without equal in football circles. We Stokies typically wear our hearts on our sleeves, but it is that emotional bond that ties us to the club with such special effect. So for just a short while, leave these heady days of the Premier League, and come back and see what made it so important that we finally got there.
Ticket to the Moon
Aston Villa’s 1982 European Cup win in many ways was the most romantic in football history. And yet, set against the backdrop of English dominance in the competition it is widely a forgotten achievement. By taking readers inside the boardroom, revealing through minutes who said what to whom at key meetings, Sydenham paints a vivid portrayal that covers more than 20-years of turbulent Midland football history.
For The Boys In The Royal Blue Jersey
This book features interviews with fifty former Everton players who have lived my boyhood dream to grace the famous Goodison turf in the royal blue jersey. My writing days began as a hobby back in 2012 when I submitted articles and match reports for a couple of Everton websites under the pseudonym, 'Blue Echo'. Inside this first edition of 'Blue Echo' interviews, these players tell their own story of their time at Everton. I sincerely hope one of your favourite players is included, and that you enjoy reading their stories. We as fans know what the club motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum means to us. These interviews highlight exactly what being at Everton means to the players, too.
Caught Beneath the Landslide
In the year when Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, swept its way to the Premier League title, Caught Beneath the Landslide examines another, very different club, also called Manchester City. In the words of Uwe Rosler: “It was a different club, a working-class club supported by the people of Manchester”. Run, not by a faceless sheikh, but by men like Peter Swales and Francis Lee who ran the gauntlet of supporters’ anger as season after season ran out of control.
90 Minutes Is Not Enough
Have you ever wondered if your local town's football team could make it in the Nationwide League and how they would get on? "90 Minutes Is Not Enough" is the story of just that. Meet the players, manager and the somewhat unorthodox chairman of Redbourne Rovers as they go from the obscurity of non league football to the glory of being the winners of the first domestic final in England played at the new Wembley in their inaugural season in the league. Follow their progress in a breathtaking rollercoaster of a journey around the football grounds of England, spiced with a bit of romance, a lot of skulduggery and some very unexpected twists. Essentially though, it is all about the beautiful game and the dreams of success that are encompassed within it by every fan, player and manager involved with it.
