I got it for Christmas (along with Keith Houchen's book) - not had a chance to read either yet though! Seem to be a few Pools-related books this last year or two....

I wanted to buy the book (Pools v Busby babes) when I was up last weekend but the club shop didn't have. Can anyone supply me with the ISBN number sp I can order it from one of those academic bookshops in Cambridge? Thanks.

im also wallowing in nostalgia by reading " the damned utd " a novel "written" by brian clough.


excellent book Mr Fireball. I started a thread about that after I read it a few months ago. Plenty of Hartlepool United in there, well written and quite revealing - though I'm not sure how much is fact and how much fiction.
