Re: New Cardiff City book should be on sale within three days!
Yes good luck with it Bob. I will definitely get a copy. I think we are the same age Paul, so i remember that night very well, with a junior season tick in Block C of the Canton Stand. i was right behind the goal when Clark's header went in. Depressing to think it will be 50 years ago next March. I think that cup run and all our games in the Welsh Cup probably caused us to miss out on promotion that season. We played 16 cup games which our rivals didn't have to do.

Re: New Cardiff City book should be on sale within three days!
I was 16. Stood in front of the Grange End. I can still see Brian Clark rise for header but didn’t see the ball go in the net because of the crowd surge that happened when 10,000 supporters all went for the same ball.
Coincidentally. My sister told me recently that she went into a picture framer shop near Rees the butcher in cowbridge road and there was a large autographed poster of Real Madrid v Cardiff leaning against the wall. I wondered who that fantastic item of memorabilia belonged to.

Was that the home game against Middlesborough? We lost 4-3 if I remember correctly.

Frank Parsons was throwing them into our net faster than we could score them at the other end.

Just ordered it on Amaon, Paul. Good luck with the book. I've still not recovered from that Sheffield United game!

In the same Middlesborough game,Bobby Woodruff also scored a cracking goal with one of the hardest shots I have ever seen.
I was watching at the other end through an ancient set of binoculars. I was right behind Bobby and he gave the shot some welly!!!
I also followed Peter Kings all the way expecting someone to try and head it and was stunned to see it go in.
Then Frank Parsons had his mad few minutes.....

It's a shame that Bobby Woodruff's brilliant goal a few minutes before Peter King's was barely mentioned at the time, let alone now, but, as I point out, in the book, King played a big part in that goal because the simple looking pass he played to Woodruff was so good that he didn't have to adjust or break his stride at all as he moved on to the ball.
From where I was stood, I knew King's extraordinary goal was going in almost as soon as he hit it.

Ditto.
Arrived this morning (with 'My Kind Of Club' - the Warnock at Cardiff book by Dominic Booth - in very big print!).
Started Paul's book already. :thumbup:

Just bought it .
Looking forward to this book.

Re: New Cardiff City book should be on sale within three days!
Once again, thanks to you all for your support. I've ordered the paperback but not received it yet. My main interest is to see what the cover looks like - I heard some right horror stories about Amazon's self publishing software when it comes to designing covers, so was fearing the worst. Based on what I've seen from the previews on the software, the cover is nothing special (four or five out of ten stuff), but it is all my own work and I'm quite proud I managed to produce something without having to get a professional involved.

Just one observation Paul, your name does not seem to appear on the front, back cover or spine. Modesty ?

Hard to believe but that game was played on 3 October 1970, so 50 years ago last Saturday!! I was in the Canton Stand, but those goals looked great even from that distance.

I noticed that the day after it was published, so it was down to forgetfulness Rob, I was concentrating so much on getting everything to fit properly, I forgot all about it! I'm pretty sure I can amend the e book and I might do that, but I don't think the system will let me do it on the paperback.

With Parsons' blunders happening right in front of you, I think those of us in the Grange End had the better of things that day, but were you in the Canton Stand for the Warboys match against Carlisle?

Yes, same season. I had a junior season ticket there. The Carlisle game where Warboys scored four was on march 6 and we played Real Madrid 4 days later. What a week!
