Thread: New book, “FORTUNE & FAME” (City references)

  1. #1

    New book, “FORTUNE & FAME” (City references)

    I’ve been ask to post this, about a new book that’s out, by Jonathan Power, in conjunction with our own David Collins.

    I haven’t got a clue it’s about, or cost, or where you can buy it, but apparently there are lots of City references in it.


    Perhaps David, or someone else out there, could fill in the blanks

    It’s actually 2 CCFC quizbooks, one Wales football quiz book, a PL diary from when we played in red and a story of my life as a City Fan called Born Under a Grange End Star. Done some non football stuff too.

    Jon is a regular at City games and has been since the 1970s.

    Sounds like POC and Pontprennau Bluebird are one and the same person to me, some shameless self-promotion

    Excellent work

    I’m not sure sorry. It is out of print as a “new” book. My copy is covered in autographs. I may be able to find a spare to sell. If so I will DM you.

    Cheers Enoch.

    It would be great if any City fans who have enjoyed the book could post some reviews on Amazon.

    Just to say that hard copies of this book are now available from Wellfield Bookstore in Wellfield Rd, Roath. Some signed copies available there.
