580 signed by Stewart Weir who was selling them in a little shop down Sackville Road near the Salvation Army place. A great book to remember those days and pick out a few people I know/knew in the photos.
I do. Issue number 2872. My friend Adrian was the printer.
I grew up with him in Seaford. His brother, who is my age and features in the book, handing out leaflets, is my oldest friend. Adrian is a year or two older than me. He was Albion mad when we were younger as I was. I was only 12 when we played up at Newcastle for promotion in 1979, Adrian offered to take me. Unsurprisingly my dad wouldn't let me go, Adrian was probably 14 at the time! Last time I saw him was at the Millennium stadium against Bristol.Ah, that's interesting. Our old mate Adrian, owner of one of the few Goldstone Ground turnstiles to leave the country and the man behind the printing of Scars & Stripes. How do you know him?
It was his brother's van that took Adrian's turnstile away from the Goldstone. There were two turnstiles in the van - the other, from the south west corner, is now restored and safe for ever in the museum.I grew up with him in Seaford.

Was it? I didn't realise that. I was newly married and living in Liverpool at the time. I missed a lot of the fight for our club, something I regret. However, I don't think I'd have coped well with the last game at the Goldstone. I was there for the York game, in my opinion, that was the real game changer.It was his brother's van that took Adrian's turnstile away from the Goldstone.

Is Paul Valley still up there using your internet IP address ?
It was indeed. How do you know Adrian? Do you know Mark as well?It was his brother's van that took Adrian's turnstile away from the Goldstone. There were two turnstiles in the van - the other, from the south west corner, is now restored and safe for ever in the museum.
Having sat next to said author as he numbered and signed them in a secretarial office in hove I think the number you got may not necessarily be unique

Small world. I forwarded the URL of this thread to Mark, he was obviously interested and said he'd forward it to Adrian.I haven't seen Mark since those heroic days sadly. Adrian was a business partner of my oldest friend and became a friend of mine too. I was a customer of his and on a heap of Albion-related ventures, a collaborator too. I last saw him at the Amex a while back.
Got mine from Sportspages back in the day.
