Delighted to say my new book Goodbye to Boleyn is out on November 15, published by Biteback. It tells the story of West Ham's final season at the Boleyn Ground and the first games at the London Stadium. Plus chapters on the pubs of Upton Park, Ken's Cafe, the Newham Bookshop and lots of memories of Bobby Moore, Trevor Brooking, Paolo Di Canio, Christian Dailly (the love of my life), Two Bob Ray and Smooth Steve in the Central, sticky carpets in the Boleyn, blokes singing on pool tables, Bill Remfry, Mr Moon, my pal Matt's lucky Dukla Prague away shirt and the whole match day experience that was Upton Park. Phill Jupitus has very kindly supplied a cover quote: “Essex scribe and literary Hammer Pete May writes with humour and eloquence about the most turbulent year of change at the Boleyn since Ken’s Café got a tub of Flora.” Click on the link to pre-order.

There's many people calling for a return of the lucky Dukla Prague shirt, given the way things are going this season...
