Most of the books mentioned are worth reading, especially 'Dynamo', which is an incredible story. I'll add:

like the look of the Ajax book.. I've had "Dynamo" recommended to me before and I concur that.. "the miracle of Castel di Sangro" is an excellent read.

As for stadia !! ..surprised there isn't a thread devoted to the subject. Think I'll start one.

In the meantime, here's Athletic Bilbao's home. San Mames. Delighted we're playing them there before they move to their new ground.

Is this the one about Colne and their chairman, Chalky White? I think he was called. Pardon my ignorance if it's not.**
Years ago, this was recommended to me and I tried all the usual suspects, well mainly the book shop off St. Anne's square (Amazon hadn't been invented yet) and I had forgotten all about this, think I'll have a moooch on t'web today*

*must update weekend plans

** t'would appear to be about Kiev...........does anyone know the title of the one about Colne, please?

Di Canio's book
Gazza's book
