:thumbup: Paul Lake’s ‘i’m not really here’ is worth a read.

Agreed.

Following Wales win this afternoon, some might enjoy ‘trailing clouds of glory’ - Welsh football’s forgotten heroes of 1976 by Nick Burrell - it is an excellent read :thumbup:

Re: CCMB Book Club

Has anybody read The Fortune Men? It's not a football book but it is about Cardiff and Tiger Bay. Here's the synopsis:

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2021 'Chilling and utterly compelling, The Fortune Men shines an essential light on a much-neglected period of our national life' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland Mahmood Mattan is a fixture in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, 1952, which bustles with Somali and West Indian sailors, Maltese businessmen and Jewish families.

If anyone hasn’t read The Boy on the Shed by Paul Ferris, then you’re in for a treat

This looks really good too. Christmas presents are sorted already.

I'm liking the CCMB book club.

CCMB's sadly missed Caliburn (Clive Menadue) wrote, 'Foxglove Sun: Moments from Childhood Recalled.' Amazon still has one copy, apparently.

Cal was a lovely guy and sadly missed as you say. I sent him a cd of Football Manager some years ago, he really appreciated it. A wonderful contributor to CCMB with his posts and mostly his wit. A Real Gent.

Just read it. Very good read. Thanks for the recommendation.

Another football book I enjoyed recently was Another Bloody Saturday by Mat Guy - that's worth a read.
