Hammers in the Heart out on Kindle today

My 2005 book Hammers in the Heart: A Lifetime of Supporting West Ham is out on Kindle today. Click on the link below to peruse.  It begins with my first match in 1970 when there were steel toe-caps in the North Bank and Bobby Moore was on the near post at corners, then romps through John Radford's goal drought, Alan "Whippet" Taylor's Wembley brace,  Frank Lampard falling over and scoring the effing winning goal, the Redknapp years of Foreign Legions and Di Canio madness, Boogers going barmy, Joey Beauchamp going AWOL, relegation under Roeder, chants of "We want a new back four!" at Charlton and winning the play-offs under Pards. Read it and weep…

Hammers in the Heart out on Kindle

Good news - my 2005 book Hammers in the Heart is finally available on May 3 as a Kindle book. There's been all sorts of problems with corrupted master discs at Mainstream, but now it's been uncorrupted and is available to download. It covers my life supporting West Ham from my first game in 1970 until the 2005 play-off Final against Preston and the start of the 2005-06 season. A book full of lows, and even more lows, plus a couple of Cup Finals, Paolo Di Canio going mad against Bradford, Terminator Dicks, losing 6-0 at Oldham, skinheads in the North Bank, Frank McAvennie and his mock-Turdor mansion, non-scoring striker John Radford, Alvin Martin who's got no no hair but we don't care, and much more.
