Literary Hammer geezers at East Ham Library

In a double act to rival McAvennie and Cottee — or some might say Mike Small and David Kelly — Brian Williams and myself will be appearing at East Ham Library, 328 Barking Road, on Tuesday Nov 14 as part of the Newham Word Festival. Brian will be discussing his new book Home From Home on his struggles reaching the next level at the London Stadium and his previous tome Nearly Reach The Sky, while I'll be speaking about my book Goodbye To Boleyn on West Ham's final season at Upton Park. Expect plenty of Boleyn reminisces, Ken's Cafe eulogies, West Ham trivia and then questions from the floor. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm kick-off and it's all free. Details from the Newham Bookshop website.
