Largey 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Sounds awesome Hucks, I see there are two front covers, I presume we can choose our front cover or have you written this in two parts?It''ll be great to hear your stories, you''ve been honest and haven''t shied away from telling it how it is before which for fans is all we ask, this will be flying off the shelf for Christmas I suspect!

Bury Yellow 2 Posted September 21, 2011 Well done Hucks.I shall be ordering. Memories of your outstanding skills, space and character will never be forgottenIf only you could have played in our current team in the Premier league. I am sure you would have enjoyed playing under Lambo.Finally, it''s great that you and your family settled in the area and seem very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted September 21, 2011 [quote user="Harry"]Please tell me there''s a chapter called "What Glenn Roeder knows about football"....That would be the smallest chapter in the history of literature.[/quote]A leaf out of Len Shackleton''s book....http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/1045604.stm(well worth a read, this)The following year he published his autobiography. Entitled "Clown Prince of Soccer", the book famously contained a chapter headed: "The Average Director''s Knowledge of Football".At the foot of the now legendary empty page was a note reading "This chapter has deliberately been left blank in accordance with the author''s wishes."Anyway, I''ll be in for two books, one for myself and one for my niece.

Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0 Posted September 21, 2011 I''m assuming one cover is aimed at Cov fans & one at Norwich fans... I''ll certainly be buying a copy! I was at a night with Darren Huckerby at FCR & Hucks certainly wasn''t frightened to tell it how it was, so here''s hoping the book is the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted September 21, 2011 I might just wait for the movie instead. Wonder who''ll get to play Hucks? Some left-wing actor, other than Glenda Jackson, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Darren,Looking forward to reading this - particularly as my Grandfather (Keith Elliott) has been involved with Clifton All-whites for more than 50 years (He''s now treasurer and honorary lifetime president) and remembers your time there with particular fondness. I hope the club are included in some small part, but regardless, I''m excited to read it!All the best,Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
