I think Jason has a couple of books on the go at the moment, and Wednesday supporters should consider themselves lucky to have had Jason write their history because I can tell you that not many football clubs have history books that come close to those available on Sheffield Wednesday. Farnsworth's and Sparling's books are also brilliant.
Other news.
Well the book is coming along very nicely. A couple more chapters have been written and most of the major chapters are down in draft. The massive two chapters are the FA Cup run and the FA Cup final chapters. The research into these games is so big that it may take a long time to write them. But once done there really won't be anything quite like it from any other football club history. I hope so anyway.
I have some exciting news on something else I believe, but cannot write that on here at the moment.
Also, apparently Jack Madden has some stuff on display at the Scottish Football museum. I'm not sure it is worth the journey or me to go and see. I have visited the museum and if I am in Glasgow I will go again and recommend it to anyone who happens to be in the city. Traveling hundreds of miles just to see it is not recommended.
It is very much the 'Scottish' football museum. Which is fair enough. But obviously cannot compete with the Preston museum which holds the Fifa collection amongst others. Also, when I was there the Scottish museum was run by old men who would only talk about when Scotland beat England. I was there a few hours and that is all I could hear them talking about. But I must say that most Scottish people, including these old guys in the museum are great people. It is only the minority that are horrible to my sister because she was English. All she did wrong was not know what a potato Scone was.
There were som nice photographs from a victorian magazine from the 1903 England V Scotland match at Bramell Lane on ebay last week. They did not sell at a £10 starting price. I found that a little strange, I was tempted by them, but ultimately they are not connected to my story and it was an extra tenner for something I wouldn't have had much use for. Was kind of hoping someone would have some use for them.
My friend has recommended that I read Lost in France, the story of a Welsh Goalkeeper killed in WW1. It does look good and I've ordered a copy.
