Finally got round to ordering my copy. Double whammy for charity really as I don't have space to store many books now so, after me and my son have a read, it will probably have to head for Chestnut Tree House Charity shop. Win/win. Best wishes for the trial. I'm confident there is plenty more Albion in you and, in return, they will give you good reason to carry on fighting.

Aw thank you, that's really appreciated.

And I'm still here too! On train back from Bart's in London where I am on a trial and have to attend two days every two weeks. The second is quite nasty chemo but it's keeping me going. Not so good is that I will be doing this for the rest of my life, but if that means getting to an away game (or two) in Europe then happy days!

Glad to hear it mate. Keep fighting- we might be in the San Siro in September!

It has been ages since I sat down and read a book. even with this sitting by the side of my bed nagging me, it still took months to pick it up, but I finally got there.

Nice large clear text and an easy to read style, meant I breezed through this in a couple of days and I am glad I did - thanks @Rugrat

Ah, well done and thanks for the compliment

Book still available on Amazon if anyone else wants a peek. Over 300 sold and all proceeds to charity

As a general message I'm still here but was told today that I'm off (officially suspended but it will be off) the trial I was on due to sh*t side effects ... neuropathy which has left almost unable to walk. But I stay under the supervision of Barts and hopefully they can come up with something else that will keep me ticking over. Told him (my Oncolgist) today I need to be kept going to see us through the upcoming European campaign!!!

I've reached page 100 (I don't get much time to read) and I'm loving the book! The Sheik-yer-money story is brilliant and clearly convinced the Amex senior management that you were a great judge of character! All best wishes.

It's a brilliant book, TC. I couldn't put it down once I reached page 100.
Very entertaining, full of happy and sad stories, fearless, a true rollercoaster of a life lived to the full.
We don't know each other, but I feel I know you fairly well from your book.
I shall make a donation to the charity.
My very best wishes to you and your family, and thank you for an uplifting read.
Ray

Cheers @Weststander glad you enjoyed it.

For others, still available on Amazon and I'm donating all proceeds to the charity Fight Bladder Cancer. If you're stuck for Xmas pressie ideas then give it a go 😉
It's a brilliant book, I really enjoyed it. Even managed to read more than 3 pages at a time without falling asleep, which is highly unusual for me.

How are you doing mate?

I read on holidays (too distracted at home) and did it in about three days whilst we’re in Austria. A mix of everything, including the 4 Tony Cooper’s in a casino!

Genuinely a bit sad when it was over, Tony’s such an interesting person.

I enjoyed reading it, always good to read a quite different life/perspective from my own. Glad to hear it's being read. It encouraged me to write a few things of my own down too.

Thank you ... that's praise indeed, and much appreciated.

Thanks for asking ..... have had mixed fortunes. Went on a trial drug at Bart's and whilst it did a great job at containing the growth of tumours it unfortunately caused 'collateral damage' and gave me neuropathy and so I had to come off it.

I'm back at Eastbourne General and just started the old technology Chemo last week, not expecting too much from that but hopefully a bit of extra time.

Hoping to to see us play in Dublin in May and the thought of that has given me some added incentive
